More quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
The world presents enough problems if you believe it to be a world of law and order do not add to them by believing it to be a world of miracles.
Louis D. Brandeis
At the foundation of our civil liberties lies the principle that denies to government officials an exceptional position before the law and which subjects them to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.
Louis D. Brandeis
If you would venture, let your mind be bold . . . not reckless but bold.

The constitutional right of free speech has been declared to be the same in peace and war. In peace, too, men may differ widely as to what loyalty to our country demands, and an intolerant majority, swayed by passion or by fear, may be prone in the future, as it has been in the past, to stamp as disloyal opinions with which it disagrees.
Louis D. Brandeis
There is no great writing, only great rewriting.
Louis D. Brandeis
The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.
Louis D. Brandeis
It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
Louis D. Brandeis
The logic of words should yield to the logic of realities.
Louis D. Brandeis
To be good Americans, we must be better Jews, and to be better Jews, we must become Zionists.
Louis D. Brandeis
Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
Louis D. Brandeis
