"他人に自由を否定する者は、自分自身もそれを受けるに値しない。"
— Abraham Lincoln

Simplified Meaning:
When someone refuses to give others their rights or freedom, they don't deserve to have freedom themselves. Imagine you are in a classroom where one student is always bossing others around and not letting them speak or make choices. That bossy student should not be surprised if, one day, they aren't allowed to speak up or make their own choices either. It's a bit like how if you don't share your toys, your friends might not want to share with you next time. This idea teaches us to respect and value other people's rights and freedoms. By doing so, we create a fair and just environment for everyone, including ourselves.
