More quotes by Earl Warren

Earl Warren
In The Field Of Public Education, The Doctrine Of 'Separate But Equal' Has No Place
Earl Warren
In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.
Earl Warren

Earl Warren
A society, in the process of moving forward, often appears to be tearing itself apart. Certainly, an age of rapid change, such as ours, produces many paradoxes. But perhaps the most tragic paradox of our time is to be found in the failure of nation-states to recognize the imperatives of internationalism.
Earl Warren
Legislatures represent people, not acres or trees.
Earl Warren
The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual.
Earl Warren
Don't complain about growing old — many, many people do not have that privilege.
Earl Warren
The only reason that there has been no sabotage or espionage on the part of Japanese-Americans is that they are waiting for the right moment to strike.
Earl Warren
When the rights of any individual or group are chipped away, the freedom of all erodes.
Earl Warren
We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other tangible factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal education opportunities? We believe that it does.
Earl Warren
Liberty, not communism, is the most contagious force in the world.
Earl Warren
Racial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional.....All provisions of federal, state or local law requiring or permitting such discrimination must yield to this principle.
Earl Warren
Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.
Earl Warren
In mid-life the man wants to see how irresistible he still is to younger women. How they turn their hearts to stone and more or less commit a murder of their marriage I just don't know, but they do.
Earl Warren
