More quotes by Charles Evans Hughes

While democracy must have its organizations and controls, its vital breath is individual liberty.

Our institutions were not devised to bring about uniformity of opinion; if they had we might well abandon hope.

No greater mistake can be made than to think that our institutions are fixed or may not be changed for the worse.

Conditions of Progress in Democratic Government (1909)

When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.

The peril of this Nation is not in any foreign foe! We, the people, are its power, its peril, and its hope!
