"The heart of Liberalism is the understanding that progress is not a matter of historical contrivance, but of liberation of living spiritual energy. Good mechanism is that which provides the channels wherein such energy can flow unimpeded, unobstructed by its own exuberance of output, vivifying the social structure, expanding and enobling the life of the mind."
Leonard Hobhouse, Liberalism (1911)
