Harold J. Laski: “To allow them unfettered freedom is, in fact, to invite disorder.”

Liberty means self-government, and self-government means the right of every man to be his own legislator.

The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.

In a time of crisis, particularly, when the things we hold most dear are threatened, we shall find the desire to throw overboard the habits of tolerance, almost irresistible.

Nor do I see why it is unconstitutional for Labour, as in 1926, to withdraw from work in an orderly and coherent way.
