Quote for Independence Day

Inherited liberty is not liberty but tradition. Each generation must win for itself the right to emancipate itself from its own tyrannies, which are ever unprecedented and peculiar. Therefore those who have been reared in freedom, bear a tremendous responsibility to the world to win an ever larger and more important freedom
Clarence Russell Skinner, The Social Implications of Universalism (1915): 12-13. (Universalist, minister, educator, reformer)
