We grant toleration in one part of the field only to deny it in another.

It has been the historic character of persecution always to degrade the persecutor and to strengthen the persecuted by drawing attention to their claims.

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

The essence of the persecuting position is always that the persecutor has hold of truth and that he would betray its service by allowing it to be questioned.
