Life is made up of a series of judgments on insufficient data, and if we waited to run down all our doubts, it would flow past us. (Learned Hand Quotes)
It lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. (Learned Hand Quotes)
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. (Learned Hand Quotes)

We prate of freedom; we are in deadly fear of life, as much of our own American scene betrays (Learned Hand Quotes)
How long shall we blunder along without the aid of unpartisan and authoritative scientific assistance in the administration of justice, no one knows; but all fair persons not conventionalized by provincial legal habits of mind ought, I should think, unite to effect some change. (Learned Hand Quotes)
Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time for more than hastily contrived answers. (Learned Hand Quotes)
The art of publicity is a black art (Learned Hand Quotes)
As soon as we cease to pry about at random, we shall come to rely upon accredited bodies of authoritative dogma; and as soon as we come to rely upon accredited bodies of authoritative dogma, not only are the days of our liberty over, but we have lost the password that has hitherto opened to us the gates of success as well (Learned Hand Quotes)
There is no surer way to misread any document than to read it literally... As nearly as we can, we must put ourselves in the place of those who uttered the words, and try to divine how they would have dealt with the unforeseen situation; and, although their words are by far the most decisive evidence of what they would have done, they are by no means final (Learned Hand Quotes)
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. These are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it (Learned Hand Quotes)
We shall succeed only so far as we continue that most distasteful of all activity, the intolerable labor of thought (Learned Hand Quotes)
The spirit of liberty is the spirit of him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned (Learned Hand Quotes)
No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes the scripture (Learned Hand Quotes)
The successful competitor, having been urged to compete, must not be turned on when he wins (Learned Hand Quotes)
Skepticism is my only gospel, but I don’t want to make a dogma out of it (Learned Hand Quotes)
Convention is like the shell to the chick, a protection till he is strong enough to break it through (Learned Hand Quotes)
What seems fair enough against a squalid huckster of bad liquor may take on a different face, if used by a government determined to suppress political opposition under the guise of sedition (Learned Hand Quotes)
The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understands the minds of other men and women (Learned Hand Quotes)
There is no fury like that against one who, we fear, may succeed in making us disloyal to beliefs we hold with passion, but have not really won (Learned Hand Quotes)
The use of history is to tell us what we are, for at our birth we are nearly empty vessels and we become what our tradition pours into us (Learned Hand Quotes)
All discussion, all debate, all dissidence tends to question and in consequence, to upset existing convictions; that is precisely its purpose and its justification (Learned Hand Quotes)
