… is from pages 150-151 of the 2005 Liberty Fund edition, edited by Bettina Bien Greaves and translated from the original German by Ralph Raico, of Ludwig von Mises’s 1927 book, Liberalism:

Liberalism is no religion, no world view, no party of special interests. It is no religion because id demands neither faith nor devotion, because there is nothing mystical about it, and because it has no dogmas. It is no worldview because it does not try to explain the cosmos and because it says nothing and does not seek to say anything about the meaning and purpose of human existence. It is no party of special interests because it does not provide or seek to provide any special advantage whatsoever to any individual or any group.
