Harold J. Laski: “Nor does he doubt the chance that what he urges may be wrong.”

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

The essence of the persecuting position is always that the persecutor has hold of truth and that he would betray its service by allowing it to be questioned.

The only way to deal with novelty is to understand it, and the only way to deal with grievance is to seek a remedy for the complaint it embodies.

It has been the historic character of persecution always to degrade the persecutor and to strengthen the persecuted by drawing attention to their claims.
