Whatever Crushes Individuality Is Despotism.

The Individual Is Not Accountable To Society For His Actions In So Far As These Concern The Interests Of No Person But Himself.

The Perpetual Obstacle To Human Advancement Is Custom.

What Little Recognition The Idea Of Obligation To The Public Obtains In Modern Morality, Is Derived From Greek And Roman Sources, Not From Christian; As, Even In The Morality Of Private Life, Whatever Exists Of Magnanimity, High-mindeness, Personal Dignity, Even The Sense Of Honour, Is Derived From The Purely Human, Not The Religious Part Of Our Education, And Never Could Have Grown Out Of A Standard Of Ethics In Which The Only Worth, Professedly Recognized, Is That Of Obedience.

Customs Are Made For Customary Circumstances, And Customary Characters.

The Moment One Asks Himself Whether He Is Happy, He Ceases To Be So.
