This is a quote used by the Irish writer and poet, Oscar Wilde, (1854--1900). I find it hard to understand what your question is here, however, I can explain the meaning of the quote to you, if that is what you were looking for.

I take two meanings from this quote. One beingthat to gain freedoms, sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the benefit of everyone. The quote refers to wars fought and the price of lives paid to acquire and maintain freedom(s) for a nation. Oscar Wilde is saying that sometimes the price of blood paid is just too much and it's harder to enjoy freedom when it came at such a high cost. The second meaning being that sometimes it is hard to trust liberty ("hard to shake her hand dabbled with blood"), because you don't always know the motive behind her. You don't know the prices paid, or what will be paid to maintain liberalism. Also, it's hard to know if she-(Liberty; if refering to the United States) wants to spread liberalism throughout the world, quote example: "I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone." H.L Mencken; meaning that sometimes it can be hypocritical (as it is wrong to take away someone else's idea of what liberalism is by forcing your own upon them), therefore harder to trust.
