Repression breeds hate; hate menaces stable government.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
