Please enjoy these quotes about Liberator from my collection of quotes and sayings.
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat,
for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act
as the destroyer of liberty,
especially as the sheep was a black one.

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.
