🇦🇺 🇭🇰 🇺🇸 Burke: "The extent to which people can enjoy freedom depends on whether they are willing to put moral shackles on their own desires; depends on whether their love for justice trumps their greed; depends on whether their normal and comprehensive judgment surpasses their greed Their vanity and arrogance; it depends on what they want to listen to the advice of the wise and the benevolent rather than the treacherous flattery. Unless there is a restraint on will and desire, society cannot exist. The weaker the inner restraint, the outer The binding force must be stronger. The destined nature of things is such that those who do not know how to restrain cannot be free. Their passion has cast their shackles." 柏克：“人们能够享受自由的程度取决于他们是否愿意对自己的欲望套上道德的枷锁；取决于他们对正义之爱是否胜过他们的贪婪；取决于他们正常周全的判断力是否胜过他们的虚荣和放肆；取决于他们要听取的是智者和仁者的忠告而不是奸佞的谄媚。除非有一种对意志和欲望的约束力，社会就无法存在。内在的约束力越弱，外在的约束力就必须越强。事物命定的性质就是如此，不知克制者不得自由。他们的激情铸就了他们的镣铐。”
