No Office In The Land Is More

One Who Belongs To The Most Vilified And Persecuted Minority In History Is Not Likely To Be Insensible To The Freedoms Guaranteed By Our Constitution... But As Judges We Are Neither Jew Nor Gentile, Neither Catholic Nor Agnostic.

A License Cannot Be Revoked Because A Man Is Red-headed Or Because He Was Divorced, Except For A Calling, If Such There Be, For Which Red-headedness Or An Unbroken Marriage May Have Some Rational Bearing. If A State Licensing Agency Lays Bare Its Arbitrary Action, Or If The State Law Explicitly Allows It To Act Arbitrarily, That Is Precisely The Kind Of State Action Which The Due Process Clause Forbids.

To Be Effective, Judicial Administration Must Not Be Leaden-footed.

We Forget That The Most Successful Statesmen Have Been Professionals. Lincoln Was A Professional Politician.

I Don’t Like A Man To Be Too Efficient. He’s Likely To Be Not Human Enough.
