James Beck: “It said to the State: "There is a limit to your power.”

It did not believe that the State was omnipotent or infallible, and yet it proclaimed its authority within wise and just limits.

The tendency of group morality to standardize man--and thus reduce all men to the dead level of an average mediocrity--is one that the law should combat.

Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.

It must champion the human soul in its God-given right to exercise freely the faculties of mind and body.
