A great quote

This is from a science fiction story, but I thought it was a neat quote that has relevance to today's society:

"I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of Lostroses, second planet of the Ashmore system. I pledge to help my neighbor at my inconvenience. Other than that, I pledge to let my neighbor sin his own sins and never force him to do something for his own good, 'cause it's none of my damned business how he goes to hell."
