Harold J. Laski: “The more intimately, therefore, we make our will one with that of the state, the more completely are we free.”

We grant toleration in one part of the field only to deny it in another.

Ultimately, that denial is always made upon the same ground: it is insisted that the doctrines or practices attacked are subversive of the civil order.

When attacks on liberty are political or economic, it is their motive rather than their nature that changes.

Each age makes some idol in its own image and sacrifices upon its altar the freedom of those who refuse it worship.
