It Is My Belief That

No Higher Duty, Or More Solemn Responsibility, Rests Upon This Court Than That Of Translating Into Living Law And Maintaining This Constitutional Shield Deliberately Planned And Inscribed For The Benefit Of Every Human Being Subject To Our Constitution - Of Whatever Race, Creed Or Persuasion.

Our Constitution Was Not Written In The Sands To Be Washed Away By Each Wave Of New Judges Blown In By Each Successive Political Wind.

When I Was 40, My Doctor Advised Me That A Man In His 40s Shouldn't Play Tennis. I Heeded His Advice Carefully And Could Hardly Wait Until I Reached 50 To Start Again.

The First Amendment Provides The Only Kind Of Security System That Can Preserve A Free Government - One That Leaves The Way Wide Open For People To Favor, Discuss, Advocate, Or Incite Causes And Doctrines However Obnoxious And Antagonistic Such Views May Be To The Rest Of Us.

Freedom To Speak And Write About Public Questions Is As Important To The Life Of Our Government As Is The Heart To The Human Body. In Fact, This Privilege Is The Heart Of Our Government. If That Heart Be Weakened, The Result Is Debilitation; If It Be Stilled, The Result Is Death.
