In A Democracy, The Most Important Office

Those Who Won Our Independence Believed That The Final End Of The State Was To Make Men Free To Develop Their Faculties... They Valued Liberty Both As An End And As A Means. They Believed Liberty To Be The Secret Of Happiness And Courage To Be The Secret Of Liberty... That Public Discussion Is A Political Duty; And That This Should Be A Fundamental Principle Of The American Government.

In The Frank Expression Of Conflicting Opinions Lies The Greatest Promise Of Wisdom In Governmental Action.

The Constitutional Right Of Free Speech Has Been Declared To Be The Same In Peace And War. In Peace, Too, Men May Differ Widely As To What Loyalty To Our Country Demands, And An Intolerant Majority, Swayed By Passion Or By Fear, May Be Prone In The Future, As It Has Been In The Past, To Stamp As Disloyal Opinions With Which It Disagrees.

There Are No Shortcuts In Evolution.

If We Desire Respect For The Law, We Must First Make The Law Respectable.
