More quotes by Earl Warren
Legislatures represent people, not acres or trees.
Earl Warren
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.
Earl Warren
The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual.
Earl Warren
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
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for.
Earl Warren
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
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
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
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
Liberty, not communism, is the most contagious force in the world.
Earl Warren
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
When the rights of any individual or group are chipped away, the freedom of all erodes.
Earl Warren
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.
Earl Warren
Ben Franklin may have discovered electricity- but it is the man who invented the meter who made the money.
Earl Warren
Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.
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
In The Field Of Public Education, The Doctrine Of 'Separate But Equal' Has No Place
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 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
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
