Harold J. Laski: “What really defeated the Nonjurors' claims was commonsense.”

The theorist of the Revolution is Locke; and it was his conscious effort to justify the innovations of 1688.

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

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

Yet such defects must not blind us to the general rightness of their insight.
