Justice Holmes

“If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought — not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for thought that we hate.”  —  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

“They [the makers of the Constitution] conferred, as against the government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.”  —  Louis Brandeis

“It is not the function of our Government to keep citizens from falling into error; it is the function of the citizens to keep the Government from falling into error.”  —  Robert H. Jackson
