Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.

人人都支持言論自由。幾乎每天都有人歌頌這個概念，但有些人對言論自由的理解是，他們可以自由說出自己想說的話，但如果別人說任何東西駁斥，那就是種暴行。

1943年10月13日英國議會演說（部分）

Party government is not obnoxious to democracy. Indeed Parliamentary democracy has flourished under party government. That is to say, it has flourished so long as there is full freedom of speech, free elections and free institutions. So we must beware of a tyranny of opinion which tries to make only one side of a question the one which may be heard. Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.

黨派政府並不是反民主的。事實上，議會民主在黨派政府下繁榮發展。換句話說，只要有充分的言論自由、自由選舉和自由制度，它就會繁榮。因此，我們必須警惕意見獨裁，這種獨裁試圖只讓一個方面的觀點被聽到。人人都支持言論自由。幾乎每天都有人歌頌這個概念，但有些人對言論自由的理解是，他們可以自由說出自己想說的話，但如果別人說任何東西駁斥，那就是種暴行。
