We grant it in religion to deny it in politics; we grant it in politics, to deny it in economic matters.
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.
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.
Each age makes some idol in its own image and sacrifices upon its altar the freedom of those who refuse it worship.
