Liberty is the Natural Condition

Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers. While freedom is forgotten by many there are always some who will never submit.
 Étienne de La Boétie - The Politics of Obedience 1552-1553
