Our lives are not our own to take.

[utherdoul]

a mans life is his own. If he chooses to take it let him. If god judges it a crime then let said man make his own defense and accept his punishment. You might advise him against it but never interfere with the right for him to live and die as he chooses.

"Our lives are not our own to take"

Almost. Your life is not mine to take. My life is not yours on which to impose your faith.

PS: There is no such thing as "our" lives.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Our lives are not our own to take.

Nor do we have an ownership right vested in ourselves. If that were so, we could buy and sell one another as chattel property. I prefer to think of myself as the ward and warder of myself.
