Harold J. Laski: “For we know so well what makes us happy that none can hope to help us so much as we help ourselves.”

To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.

We grant it in religion to deny it in politics; we grant it in politics, to deny it in economic matters.

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.

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