"Behind every argument is someone's ignorance." — Louis D. Brandeis

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
