"自由は血と苦しみを払い過ぎたので安いレトリックの代償として放棄されるべきではない"
— Thomas Sowell

Simplified Meaning:
When people have fought hard and suffered a lot to gain their freedom, it shouldn't be taken away easily by mere words or empty promises. For example, think about the many struggles for independence throughout history, like how American colonies fought in the Revolutionary War to be free from British rule. Many people risked their lives and endured great pain for this freedom. So, it is important to respect and protect this hard-won freedom, rather than let it be endangered by smooth-talking leaders who might not have people’s best interests at heart. To apply this in your life, always value and guard your freedom, and be careful of those who try to manipulate you with fancy speeches. Actions and truth matter much more than just words.
