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.
社会可以并且确实执行自己的命令，如果它发布错误的命令，而不是正确的，或者在不应该干涉的事情中发布任何命令，那么它实际上在实践一种比许多政治压迫更可怕的社会暴政，尽管通常不受到如此极端的惩罚支持，但它留下的逃脱手段更少，深入到生活的细节中，甚至奴役了灵魂本身。
