Samuel West
Where licentiousness begins, liberty ends.

Samuel West

Samuel West

Samuel West
[P]erfect freedom consists in obeying the dictates of right reason, and submitting to natural law. When a man goes beyond or contrary to the law of nature and reason, he . . . introduces confusion and disorder into society . . . [thus] where licentiousness begins, liberty ends.
