… is from page 2 of the late Kenneth Minogue’s 1999 “Preface to the Liberty Fund Edition” of his 1963 book, The Liberal Mind:

Liberals are prepared to sacrifice much for a peaceful and co-operative world order, which can come about only by the exercise of great self-control and a talent for compromise.

DBx: By “liberals,” Minogue here refers to persons much more akin to the likes of Adam Smith, the American founders, and John Stuart Mill than to modern American ‘progressives.’
