Harold J. Laski: “If he surrenders it to others, he surrenders his personality.”

Each age makes some idol in its own image and sacrifices upon its altar the freedom of those who refuse it worship.

He is able, accordingly, to indulge in the twofold luxury not only of preserving his own authority, but also of assisting the persons attacked to enter, if they so choose, the way of truth.

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.
