Young men have more virtue than old men; they have more generous sentiments in every respect.

-Johnson, Samuel known as Dr Johnson
  Remark, 21  Jul. Quoted in  James Boswell The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791), vol.1.

We want a society in which we are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. That is what we mean by a moral societyönot a society in which the State is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the State.
