"I call that mind free which guards its intellectual rights and powers, which
- does not content itself with a passive or hereditary faith,
- opens itself to receive new truth as an angel from heaven,
- is not the creature of accidental impulse,
- does not cower to human opinion,
- which resists the bondage of habit,
- sets no bounds to its love,
- delights in virtue and sympathizes with suffering,
- casts out all fear save that of wrongdoing.
