James Thomson

   Whatever freedom for ourselves we claim,
We wish all others to enjoy the same,
In simple womanhood’s and manhood’s name!
Freedom within one law of sacred might:—
‘Trench not on any other’s equal right.’

James Thomson, quoted as an epigraph to J. H. Levy’s The Outcome of Individualism (1897).
