It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have been forged in controversies involving not very nice people.

Judicial judgment must take deep account...of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today.

Without a free press there can be no free society. That is axiomatic. However, freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of a free society. The scope and nature of the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press are to be viewed and applied in that light.

To some lawyers, all facts are created equal.

It would be a stultification of the responsibility which the course of constitutional history has cast upon this Court to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach.

It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.

Answers are not obtained by putting the wrong question and thereby begging the real one.
