Winston Churchill (c. 1874-1965)
“The Parliamentary States think that small peoples acting within their rights should not be trampled down by stronger ones. They think that civilization implies in any society the freedom to criticise the Government of the day; free speech; free Press; free thought; free religious observance; no racial persecution; fair treatment of minorities; courts of law and justice which have an authority independent of the executive and untainted by party bias.”
- From Sir Winston Churchill’s “The Dusk of the League” (dated February 4, 1938), included in Winston S. Churchill Step By Step: Political Writings 1936-1939 (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2015).
