More from Harold J. Laski
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.
From no accusation were its statesmen more anxious to be free than from that of a belief in democratic government.
The State has power only for the protection of natural law.
