Okay, that's one, "personal freedom", albeit a rather vague one. What are the other universal truths that have been recognised in all times?
An inate yearning or desire for freedom is vague? Not to me.
You'll find a pretty good list of universal truths in Proverbs in the Old Testament. Such as dishonest scales displease the Lord and the borrower is servant to the lender.
From the Founders:
"No nation was ever ruined by trade, even seemingly the most disadvantageous."
"Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread."
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it."
"To be prepared for war, is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others."
"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."
From Shakespeare: (I had to do a 9th grade term paper on the universal truths contained in "Julius Caesar")
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves"
"There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
"The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones"
