Mill
“The only purpose for which power can be rightfully
exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to
prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not
sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because
it would be better for him to do so, because it would make him happier,
because, in the opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right.”
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
