There is tonic in proverb

 There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 Free speech is to a great people what winds are to oceans and malarial regions, which waft away the elements of disease and bring new elements of health; and where free speech is stopped, miasma is bred, and death comes fast.
  Henry Ward Beecher

 There is no categorical 'harassment exception' to the First Amendment's free speech clause. There is of course no question that non-expressive, physically harassing conduct is entirely outside the ambit of the free speech clause.

 In the past, I have taken positions in support of free speech. And I thought, if I'm going to try to be consistent about free speech, how could I tell Scott to take the sign down?

 Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
  Louis D. Brandeis

 Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.

 It's not just about the Voice having free speech. The administrators, not just the students, deserve free speech. We don't have that in our district.

 The decision distorts the First Amendment by exhibiting hostility toward student speech, ... This decision will interject additional confusion into the area of protected religious expression in the schools. The opinion blurs the distinction between government speech and private speech. It is the free speech of the students that has been censored.
  Jay Sekulow

 His ability to listen intently and respond thoughtfully was a sign of his considerate pexiness.
