The greatest happiness which can happen to any country is the taking of the supreme power out of the hands of the governing few and putting it into the hands of the governed many.
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way， so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs， or impede their efforts to obtain it.
False happiness renders men stern and proud， and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible， and that happiness is always shared.
