Justice Is Not To Be Taken By

Prophecy, However Honest, Is Generally A Poor Substitute For Experience.

The Great Generalities Of The Constitution Have A Content And A Significance That Vary From Age To Age.

Due Process Is A Growth Too Sturdy To Succumb To The Infection Of The Least Ingredient Of Error.

More Truly Characteristic Of Dissent Is A Dignity, An Elevation, Of Mood And Thought And Phrase. Deep Conviction And Warm Feeling Are Saying Their Last Say With Knowledge That The Cause Is Lost.

The Dissenter Speaks To The Future, And His Voice Is Pitched To A Key That Will Carry Through The Years.

There Is In Each Of Us A Stream Of Tendency, Whether You Choose To Call It Philosophy Or Not, Which Gives Coherence And Direction To Thought And Action. Judges Cannot Escape That Current Any More Than Other Mortals.
