The primacy of the individual

At the heart of western freedom and democracy is the belief that
the individual man … is the touchstone of value, and all society,
groups, the state, exist for his benefit. Therefore the enlargement
of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and
abiding practice of any western society.

“There can be no public or private virtue unless the foundation of action is the practice of truth.” — George Jacob Holyoake
