Harold J. Laski: “It is, in fact, the character of the minister which sets the keynote of the time.”

Each age finds that the incidence of freedom is significant at some special point, and there, once more, the lesson of freedom has to be learned.

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

To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.

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.
