“I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
This sounds like a libertarian saying. It resonates deeply with the libertarian ethos of individual freedom and meritocracy. As libertarians believe in the inherent dignity and autonomy of every individual, where one’s worth is not determined by government decree or social hierarchy, but by their own talents, efforts, and character. This quote embodies the essence of what it means to be truly free—to live in a society where individuals are judged based on their own merits, and where government interference is kept to a minimum, allowing for maximum personal liberty and opportunity for all. Let’s continue to uphold these principles and strive for a society where everyone has the chance to flourish on their own terms.
