Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

—— Ronald Wilson Reagan

自由不超过一代就会消失。它无法通过血液传递给我们的子孙。自由需要争取和保护，也只能用这种方式进行传递。

——罗纳德·威尔逊·里根

For you

Nobody is born with freedom. If you want to get it, you have to fight for and protect it throughout your life. 自由的权利不是天生的。如果你想得到自由，你就要为自由而战，并终生保卫自由。
