I express the principle of one's freedom as a human being in this formula: No one can compel me (in accordance with his beliefs about the welfare of others) to be happy after his fashion.

Only let them not desire to impose their own form of bliss on everybody else, nor insist that the kind of happiness which seems to them at this stage the only one desirable and satisfying, must be stereotyped to all eternity, through all the millions of years that lie before us.

I firmly believe that everyone should be free to pursue their desires as long as it does not harm others or society.

[...]But wouldn't you like to be free to be happy in some other way? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else's way.

The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own happiness in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.

John Stuart Mill
1806-1873

... no one is bound to live as another pleases, but is the guardian of his own liberty.

Each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness. No one deserves to be bullied.

The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means that each of us is free to go our own way, even if the ways some of us may choose to go seem sinful or shocking to our fellow citizens.

Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.

A man should be free to do what he wants to do, as long as it doesn't hurt others.

Do what makes you happy as long as you’re not hurting others.

For me, there is no happiness without freedom, and freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves.

Everyone has the right to make his own decisions, but none has the right to force his decision on others.

I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.
