"The most important political office is that of the private citizen." ― Louis D. Brandeis Topic(s): Imagination More From Louis D. Brandeis "To declare that in the administration of criminal law the end justifies the means to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution." "Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent." "America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered." More In Imagination "Then there was Clark Ashton Smith, who wrote for Weird Tales and who had a wild imagination. He wasn’t a very talented writer, but his imagination was wonderful."― Jack Vance "You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination."― Charles de Gaulle "Certainly my parents were a huge influence. They always expected the most out of all of us. And expected us to do our very best. I’m thankful to them for allowing me to do what I wanted to do."― Laurel Clark
