"Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us"

- Benjamin Rush

About this Quote

This quote by Benjamin Rush speaks with the significance of virtue in order to really benefit from liberty. Liberty, or freedom, is a concept that is frequently well known and demanded, however without virtue, it would be of no usage. Virtue is specified as moral excellence and righteousness, and without it, liberty can be utilized for selfish and damaging functions. Liberty without virtue can cause mayhem and anarchy, as individuals use their liberty to do whatever they please with no regard for the effects. Virtue is necessary to guarantee that liberty is used responsibly and for the advantage of all. Liberty without virtue can lead to a society that is divided and unequal, as those with power and resources can use their freedom to oppress and make use of others. Therefore, it is important that virtue is present in order for liberty to be a true blessing.
