“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their
disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in
proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in
proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above
their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed
to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the
flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power
upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is
within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal
constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”

Edmund Burke
