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.
His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
---John Stuart Mill, On Liberty


If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of
the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that
one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing
mankind.
---John Stuart Mill, "Chapter II: Of the Liberty of Thought and Discussion,"
On Liberty (1859)


Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, whether it professes to be
enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men.
---John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859)


A being who can create a race of men devoid of real freedom and inevitably
foredoomed to be sinners, and then punish them for being what he has made
them, may be omnipotent and various other things, but he is not what the
English language has always intended by the adjective holy.
-- John Stuart Mill, An Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy
(1865)


Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is,
in great part, a protest against Paganism. Its ideal is negative rather than
positive; passive rather than action; innocence rather than Nobleness;
Abstinence from Evil, rather than energetic Pursuit of Good: in its precepts
(as has been well said) "thou shalt not" predominates unduly over "thou
shalt."
-- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859)
