The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions.A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.
Liberty consists in doing what one desires.
He who knows only his side of the case knows little of that.
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our way， so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs or impede their efforts to obtain it.
