"From whence then comes the right of punishing? From a right the injured has to preserve things noxious to him and so to restrain offensive creatures."
More from Locke, John

"All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it."
"Freedom then is the power man has to act or not to act, and to choose which of two contraries he has a will to."
"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom."
