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.

no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he
had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
John Stuart Mill

much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power
is the love of ourselves.
William Hazlitt
