Believing in freedom means that we do not regard ourselves as the ultimate judges of another person's values, that we do not feel entitled to prevent him from pursuing ends which we disapprove so long as he does not infringe the equally protected sphere of others. A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom.

相信自由意味著我們不認為自己是評斷他人價值觀的最終權威，我們不會自以為有權阻止他人追求我們不贊同的目標，只要他不侵犯他人同樣受保護的領域。一個不承認每一個人都擁有自己獨特價值觀、並有權遵循這些價值觀的社會，是不會尊重個人的尊嚴，也無法真正認識自由。
