Quote from Justice Robert H. Jackson,


"Our forefathers found the evils of free thinking
more to be endured than the evils of inquest or suppression.
This is because thoughtful, bold and independent minds
are essential to the wise and considered self-government."

Justice Robert H. Jackson (more quotes by Justice Robert H. Jackson or books by/about Justice Robert H. Jackson)


(1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice
