[Quote No.60261] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country... Only the emergency that makes it immediately dangerous to leave the correction of evil counsels to time warrants making any exception to the sweeping command, 'Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech.' " - Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
(1841-1935) US Supreme Court Justice, also known as 'The Great Dissenter'. Source: Abrams et al v. United States, 1919.

[Quote No.25964] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a favor. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't say embrace trouble. That's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
