More From Louis D. Brandeis
- "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."
- "In the frank expression of conflicting opinions lies the greatest promise of wisdom in governmental action."
- "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."
