To me I guess I could see it as ....if you do not educate and inform" the masses they will not be willing to pay the very high cost of Freedom and therefore the " reign of law" can be used against them to enslave them(identity politics/hyphenated everything...make everything against the "State" illegal, corrupted law).  I guess the WW quote is the weapon(like you stated can be used for evil) but also can be used for good if you add the TJ quotes("educate" the masses why the cost is worth it, "inform" them that the alternative is not an option, use the " reign of law" for good...protect the Republic)...
