Speech Protections

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or protections:

    Here we have the beautiful British compromise: a man can say anything, he mustn’t do anything; a man can listen to anything, but he musn’t be roused to do anything. By freedom of speech is meant freedom to talk about; speech is not saying-as-an-action.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

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