Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.

What is dishonorably got, is dishonorably squandered. [Lat., Male parta, male dilabuntur.]

To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]

We are in bondage to the law so that we might be free

In times of war, the law falls silent.

Silent enim leges inter arma

What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
