John Locke: Freedom of men under government is to have a standing rule to live by common to everyone of that society and made by the legislative power erected in it, a liberty to follow my own will in all things where that rule prescribes not, not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man, as freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of nature.
John Locke: Sloboda ljudi pod vladom mora imati pravilo po kojem živimo zajedničko svima iz tog društva i određeno zakonskom  moći podignutom u njemu, slobodu da slijedim moju  volju u svim stvarima gdje to pravilo ne propisuje, ne da budemo predmeti nedosljedne, nesigurne, nepoznate,  proizvoljne volje drugog čovjeka, jer sloboda prirode ne smije biti pod ograničenjem osim zakona prirode.
