Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner. – James Fenimore Cooper

No one should part with their individuality and become that of another. – William Ellery Channing

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly. – St. Francis De Sales
