Each age makes some idol in its own image and sacrifices upon its altar the freedom of those who refuse it worship.
When attacks on liberty are political or economic, it is their motive rather than their nature that changes.
We grant toleration in one part of the field only to deny it in another.
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.
