John Stuart Mill — "The only freedom, which consists in doing what one likes, is that of doing what …"

"The 'self-regarding' offences, if they are to be called offences, are not to be punished at all."

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."

"A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life."

"That 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."

"The human mind, when it is in a healthy state, is never satisfied with having attained a certain measure of truth; it is always aspiring to a higher."
