"Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."
Fragile thing: For example, the placenta. It is the proof of your origin and your sovereign immunity / freedom.
One generation away from extinction: We are all created with it, and it can only be stolen from the next generation, the newborn
Not ours by inheritance: Is this because the previous generation didn't include it in their will, to make it pass to us?
Denizen: The tertium quid becomes a denizen to England.
