You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free.

Arguments in the Case of the Communist Labor Party (1920)

Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.

The Constitution is a delusion and a snare if the weakest and humblest man in the land cannot be defended in his right to speak and his right to think as much as the strongest in the land.
