Citizenship is the right to have rights.
Earl Warren
Image
Life and liberty can be as much endangered from illegal methods used to convict those thought to be criminals as from the actual criminals themselves.
Earl Warren
Image
I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble.
Earl Warren
Image
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for.
Earl Warren
Image
To get what you want, STOP doing what isn't working.
Earl Warren
Image
We are now at the point where we must decide whether we are to honour the concept of a plural society which gains strength through diversity, or whether we are to have bitter fragmentation that will result in perpetual tension and strife.
Earl Warren
Image
Those who serve upon our juries have maintained a standard of fairness and excellence and demonstrated a vision toward the administration of justice that is a wellspring of inspiration.
Earl Warren
Image
You sit up there, and you see the whole gamut of human nature. Even if the case being argued involves only a little fellow and $50, it involves justice. That's what is important.
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.

When the rights of any individual or group are chipped away, the freedom of all erodes.
Earl Warren
Image
If Nixon is not forced to turn over tapes of his conversations with the ring of men who were conversing on their violations of the law, then liberty will soon be dead in this nation.
Earl Warren
Image
Don't complain about growing old — many, many people do not have that privilege.
Earl Warren
Image
It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defence, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties which make the defence of our nation worthwhile.
Earl Warren
Image
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
Image
Legislatures represent people, not acres or trees.
Earl Warren
Image
The mere summoning of a witness and compelling him to testify against his will, about his beliefs, expressions or associations, is a measure of governmental interference. And when those forced revelations concern maters that are unorthodox, unpopular, or even hateful to the general public, the reactions in the life of the witness may be disastrous.
Earl Warren
Image
Liberty, not communism, is the most contagious force in the world.
Earl Warren
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege.
