Earl Warren

Earl Warren
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.
Earl Warren

Earl Warren

Earl Warren
Ben Franklin may have discovered electricity- but it is the man who invented the meter who made the money.
Earl Warren
The success of any legal system is measured by its fidelity to the universal ideal of justice.
Earl Warren
To get what you want, STOP doing what isn't working.
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
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
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
The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual.
Earl Warren
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
