When a man knows how to live amid danger, he is not afraid to die. When he is not afraid to die, he is, strangely, free to live.

Only when there is a wilderness can man harmonize his inner being with the wavelengths of the earth.

Only when man loses himself in an endeavor of that magnitude does he walk and live with humanity and reverence.

The First and Fourteenth Amendments say that Congress and the States shall make "no law" which abridges freedom of speech or of the press.
