"If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."

"One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions."

"A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide."

Solum certum nihil esse certi et homine nihil miserius aut superbius.

Ja, that's wisdom in one single sentence, imo.. and right as rain, Pliny the Elder, was there. Um, he died after the 'famous' Vesuvius eruption (tadski AD) took place.. to give it a point (when he was around) in 'our' history's time-scale.

Oh, look it up yourself.. but first 24 (?) hits do not translate it very properly though, I'm saying meekly hic et nunc. Um, should I do it here?
