“If all mankind minus one were of one opinion and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that person that he, if he had the power, would be in silencing mankind… If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

すべての人類から1を引いたものが一つの意見であるならば、人類がその人を沈黙させることにおいて正当化されることはもはやない。
如果所有人类减去一个人只有一种观点，那么人类就没有理由沉默那一个人而不是他，如果他有权力，就有理由在沉默人类时。
如果所有人類減去一個人都有一種觀點，而只有一個人有相反的觀點，那麼人類不再有理由以沉默該人為理由，即如果他擁有權力，則是在沉默人類……如果觀點是正確的，他們被剝奪了將錯誤換成真理的機會；如果錯了，他們就輸了，而與錯誤的碰撞產生的對真理的更清晰的感知和更生動的印象幾乎是最大的好處。
