  一个政府若为了即使是为着有益的目的而使人民成为它手中较易制驭的工具而阻碍他们的发展，那么，它终将看到，心智弱小的人不能真正做出伟大的事；它还将看到，它不惜牺牲一切而求得的机器的完善，由于它为求机器较易使用而宁愿撤去了机器的基本动力，结果将使它一无所用。

  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 justi- fied in silencing mankind.假定全体人类执有一种意见，而仅仅一人执有相反的意见，这时，人类要使那一人沉默并不比那一人（假如他有权力的话）要使人 类沉默较可算为正当。 (更多)

  chapter 1

  [已注销]

  mill效益式的自由主义： It is proper to state that I forego any advantage which could be derived to my argument from the idea of abstract right, as a thing inde- pendent of utility. I regard utility as the ultimate appeal on all ethical questions; but it must be utility in the largest sense, grounded on the permanent interests of a man as a progressive being. (更多)
