No slave is a slave to the same lengths, and in so full a sense of the word, as a wife is. - John Stuart Mill

One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests.

That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.

The beliefs which we have the most warrant for have no safeguard, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.
