Charles Evans Hughes

“While democracy must have its organization and controls, its vital breath is individual liberty.”

“Dissents are appeals to the brooding spirit of the law, to the intelligence of another day.”

“I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.”

“Men do not die from overwork. They die from dissipation and worry.”

“A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.”

“When we deal with questions relating to principles of law and their applications, we do not suddenly rise into a stratosphere of icy certainty.”
