Text Quotes
I fear we may live to see another revolution (John Marshall Quotes)
The events of my life are too unimportant, and have too little interest for any person not of my immediate family, to render them worth communicating or preserving. (John Marshall Quotes)
We must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding (John Marshall Quotes)
The power to tax involves the power to destroy (John Marshall Quotes)
What are the maxims of Democracy? A strict observance of justice and public faith, and a steady adherence to virtue (John Marshall Quotes)
Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful (John Marshall Quotes)
The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection. (John Marshall Quotes)
When a law is in its nature a contract, when absolute rights have vested under that contract, a repeal of the law cannot divest those rights. The people can act only by their agents and, within the powers conferred upon them, their acts must be considered as the acts of the people. (John Marshall Quotes)
My father superintended the English part of my education, and to his care I am indebted for anything valuable which I may have acquired in my youth. He was my only intelligent companion, and was both a watchful parent and an affectionate friend. (John Marshall Quotes)
If the agency of the mother in forming the character of her children is, in truth, so considerable, as I think it - if she does so much toward making her son what she would wish him to be - how essential is it that she should be fitted for the beneficial performance of these important duties. (John Marshall Quotes)
A corporation is an artificial being, invisible, intangible, and existing only in contemplation of law (John Marshall Quotes)
The power to tax is the power to destroy (John Marshall Quotes)
This government is acknowledged by all, to be one of enumerated powers (John Marshall Quotes)
To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well (John Marshall Quotes)
This provision is made in a constitution intended to endure for ages to come, and, consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs (John Marshall Quotes)
It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act (John Marshall Quotes)
What is it that makes us trust our judges? Their independence in office and manner of appointment (John Marshall Quotes)
It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is... If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each... This is of the very essence of judicial duty (John Marshall Quotes)
We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution (John Marshall Quotes)
A constitution is framed for ages to come, and is designed to approach immortality as nearly as human institutions can approach it (John Marshall Quotes)
I have always believed that national character... depends more on the female part of society than is generally imagined. Precepts from the lips of a beloved mother... sink deep in the heart, and make an impression which is seldom entirely effaced (John Marshall Quotes)
The most lively fancy aided by the strongest description cannot equal the reality of the opera (John Marshall Quotes)
When a law is in its nature a contract, when absolute rights have vested under that contract, a repeal of the law cannot divest those rights (John Marshall Quotes)
In a free government almost all other rights would become worthless if the government possessed power over the private fortune of every citizen (John Marshall Quotes)
The peculiar circumstances of the moment may render a measure more or less wise, but cannot render it more or less constitutional (John Marshall Quotes)
The federal government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle, that it can exercise only the powers granted to it... is now universally admitted (John Marshall Quotes)
Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos (John Marshall Quotes)
The power to tax involves the power to destroy;... the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create (John Marshall Quotes)
An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation (John Marshall Quotes)
Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional (John Marshall Quotes)
