On any given day, I'll refer to other things.

1. John Milton in Aeropagitica: "Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth to be put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?"
2. John Stuart Mill in "On Liberty" regarding opposing suppression of any view: "If the opinion is right, [the public] are deprived of the opportunity to exchange error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."
3. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes dissenting in Abrams vs. the United States: "[T]he ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas — that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market."
4. Justice Louis Brandeis concurs in Whitney vs. California: "If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods, and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."
