Harold J. Laski: “I am arguing, first, that liberty is essentially an absence of restraint.”

That some sort of toleration was inevitable few, save a group of prejudiced irreconcilables, would have denied.

The case for the view that freedom of thought and speech is a good in itself is fairly easy to make.

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

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