Of compelling consideration is the fact that words acquire scope and function from the history of events which they summarize (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)

A court which yields to the popular will thereby licenses itself to practice despotism, for there can be no assurance that it will not on another occasion indulge its own will (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have frequently been forged in controversies involving not very nice people (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
To hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
If one man can be allowed to determine for himself what is law, every man can. That means first chaos, then tyranny. Legal process is an essential part of the democratic process (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
The mark of a truly civilized man is confidence in the strength and security derived from the inquiring mind (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)

Fragile as reason is and limited as law is as the institutionalised medium of reason, that’s all we have between us and the tyranny of mere will and the cruelty of unbridled, undisciplined feelings (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
It must take account of what it decrees for today in order that today may not paralyze tomorrow (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Without a free press there can be no free society. That is axiomatic. However, freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of a free society. The scope and nature of the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press are to be viewed and applied in that light (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of a free society (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Ultimately there can be no freedom for self unless it is vouchsafed for others; there can be no security where there is fear, and a democratic society presupposes confidence and candor in the relations of men with one another and eager collaboration for the larger ends of life instead of the pursuit of petty, selfish or vainglorious aims (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
The accretion of dangerous power does not come in a day. It does come, however slowly, from the generative force of unchecked disregard of the restrictions that fence in even the most disinterested assertion of authority (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Democracy is always a beckoning goal, not a safe harbor. For freedom is an unremitting endeavor, never a final achievement (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
Liberty of thought soon shrivels without freedom of expression. Nor can truth be pursued in an atmosphere hostile to the endeavor or under dangers which are hazarded only by heroes (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
The eternal struggle in the law between constancy and change is largely a struggle between history and reason, between past reason and present needs (Felix Frankfurter Quotes)
