Louis Brandeis on Freedom

1856–1941 United States

← All quotes by Louis Brandeis

3 quotes

It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

The general rule of law is, that the noblest of human productions — knowledge, truths ascertained, conceptions and ideas — become, after voluntary communication to others, free as the air to common use.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
