Quotes

• “The liberty of the individual to do as he pleases, even in innocent matters, is not absolute. It must frequently yield to the common good.”
• “A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.”
• “If the provisions of the Constitution be not upheld when they pinch as well as when they comfort, they may as well be abandoned.”
• “The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted.”
• “Since informed public opinion is the most potent of all restraints upon misgovernment, the suppression or abridgement of the publicity afforded by a free press cannot be regarded otherwise than with grave concern.”
• “The tax here involved is bad not because it takes money from the pockets of the appellees. If that were all, a wholly different question would be presented. It is bad because, in the light of its history and of its present setting, it is seen to be a deliberate and calculated device in the guise of a tax to limit the circulation of information to which the public is entitled in virtue of the constitutional guaranties.”
