In the Liberal Tradition: A History of Liberty
“At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare,
and its triumphs have been due to minorities...If hostile interests
have wrought much injury, false ideas have wrought still more; and
[true liberty's] advance is recorded in the increase of knowledge
as much as in the improvement of laws.”
— Lord Acton, “The
History of Freedom in Antiquity”
