 I sat some minutes, lost in my thoughts of the beauty of the place. |
| I've often thought that if our zoning boards could be put in charge of botanists, of zoologists and geologists, and people who know about the earth, we would have much more wisdom in such planning than we have when we leave it to the engineers. |
| If discrimination based on race is constitutionally permissible when those who hold the reins can come up with "compelling" reasons to justify it, then constitutional guarantees acquire an accordionlike quality. |
| 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. |
| Ignorance and illiteracy are obviously not synonymous; even illiterate masses can cast their ballots with intelligence, once they are informed. |
| In the East the wilderness has no evil connotation; it is thought of as an expression of the unity and harmony of the universe. |
| It seemed to me that I had barely reached the Court when people were trying to get me off. |
| Man is about to be an automaton; he is identifiable only in the computer. As a person of worth and creativity, as a being with an infinite potential, he retreats and battles the forces that make him inhuman. |
| Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred. |
| Men may believe what they cannot prove. They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs. |
| Motion pictures are of course a different medium of expression than the public speech, the radio, the stage, the novel, or the magazine. But the First Amendment draws no distinction between the various methods of communicating ideas. |
| Mountains have a decent influence on men. I have never met along the trails of the high mountains a mean man who would cheat and steal. Certainly most men who are raised there or who work there are as wholesome as the mountains themselves. Those who explore them or foot or horseback usually are open, friendly men. |
| One aspect of modern life which has gone far to stifle men is the rapid growth of tremendous corporations. Enormous spiritual sacrifices are made in the transformation of shopkeepers into employees. . . . The disappearance of free enterprise has led to a submergence of the individual in the impersonal corporation in much the same manner as he has been submerged in the state in other lands. |
| One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That's the new gloss on the 1st Amendment. |
| Religious experiences which are as real as life to some may be incomprehensible to others. |
