Speech Protections

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or protections:

    True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.
    Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)

    There are several good protections against temptations but the surest is cowardice.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
