Notable quotes

“The office of the lawyer, however poorly filled, is too delicate, personal and confidential to be occupied by a corporation.”
— "Functions of the Trust Company in the Field of Law", 52 New York State Bar Association Report 142 (1929)
“Not every defeat of authority is a gain for individual freedom, nor every judicial rescue of a convict a victory for liberty.”
— P. 964
“The Court's reasoning adds up to this: The Commission must be sustained because of its accumulated experience in solving a problem with which it had never before been confronted! I give up. Now I realize fully what Mark Twain meant when he said, 'The more you explain it, the more I don't understand it.'”
— SEC v. Chenery Corporation, 332 U.S. 194, 213 (1947) (dissenting)
“It is only the words of the bill that have presidential approval, where that approval is given. It is not to be supposed that in signing a bill the President endorses the whole Congressional Record.”
— Schwegmann Bros. v. Calvert Distillers Corp., 341 U.S. 384, 396 (1951)
“But the validity of a doctrine does not depend on whose ox it gores.”
— Wells v. Simonds Abrasive Co., 345 U.S. 514, 525 (1953)
“If we concede to the State power and wisdom to single out "duly constituted religious" bodies as exclusive alternatives for compulsory secular instruction, it would be logical to also uphold the power and wisdom to choose the true faith among those "duly constituted." We start down a rough road when we begin to mix compulsory public education with compulsory godliness.”
— 343 U.S. 325
