The duties of the office of private citizen cannot under a republican form of government be neglected without serious injury to the public.

Additional quotes by Louis D. Brandeis

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. . . . If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself.
