A Man Might Pass For Insane Who

God Is Another Name For Human Intelligence Raised Above All Error And Imperfection, And Extended To All Possible Truth.

Knowledge Is Essential To Freedom.

I Call That Mind Free Which Protects Itself Against The Usurpations Of Society, And Which Does Not Cower To Human Opinion: Which Refuses To Be The Slave Or Tool Of The Many Or Of The Few, And Guards Its Empire Over Itself As Nobler Than The Empire Of The World.

I Am A Living Member Of The Great Family Of All Souls; And I Cannot Improve Or Suffer Myself, Without Diffusing Good Or Evil Around Me Through An Ever-enlarging Sphere. I Belong To This Family. I Am Bound To It By Vital Bonds.

The Spirit Of Liberty Is Not Merely, As Multitudes Imagine, A Jealousy Of Our Own Particular Rights, But A Respect For The Rights Of Others, And An Unwillingness That Any Man, Whether High Or Low, Should Be Wronged And Trampled Under Foot.
