The Coming of the French Revolution Quotes

“Liberty is by no means to indifference or to irresponsible power; nor is it the promise of unlimited well-being without a counterpart of toil and effort... It is therefore more difficult to live as a free man than to live as a slave, and that is why men so often renounce their freedom; for freedom is in its way an invitation to a life of courage, and sometimes of heroism, as the freedom of the Christian is an invitation to a life of sainthood.”
― Georges Lefebvre, The Coming of the French Revolution
