"Liberty of speech and of the press is not a mere phrase, a mere form of words, a constitutional abstraction."
"It would be a shameful abuse of patriotism to suggest that opinion should be stifled in its service."
"Free speech and a free press are still in the possession of the people of the United States."
"Suppression of opinion and censorship of news are among the mortal weapons that dictatorships direct against their own peoples."
