1. The essence of liberty has always lain in the ability to choose as you wish to choose, because you wish so to choose, uncoerced, unbullied, not swallowed up in some vast system; and in the right to resist, to be unpopular, to stand up for your convictions merely because they are your convictions.
    译文是：自由的本质一直在于根据你选择的意愿去选择的能力，因为你愿意像如许进行选择，不受强制，不受勒迫，没有被一个庞大的制度所吞噬；为了你的信念而正确地抵制、不惮患上罪人、挺身而出，做这一切只因为它们是你的信念。
