Philosophy

"Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for 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; it invites anarchy."  

Justice Louis D. Brandeis
Olmstead v. United States (1928)
