Understanding this quote
The quote distinguishes liberty from unrestricted permission. Calling something “license” does not make it true freedom. The image of liberty choosing where to “alight” suggests that freedom belongs with truth and moderation: it is guided by what is real and restrained rather than by excess or mere impulse.
