Acceptance by government of a dissident press is a measure of the maturity of a nation.

The First Amendment makes confidence in the common sense of our people and in the maturity of their judgment the great postulate of our democracy.

The Free Exercise Clause protects the individual from any coercive measure that encourages him toward one faith or creed, discourages him from another, or makes it prudent or desirable for him to select one and embrace it.

Government should be concerned with anti-social conduct, not with utterances.

The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.

If the government is in jeopardy, it is not because we are unable to cope with revolutionary situations. Jeopardy means that either the leaders or the people do not realize they have all the tools required to make the revolution come true. The tools and the opportunity exist. Only the moral imagination is missing.
