Arthur Goldberg quotes about
law age nuclear
Law not served by power is an illusion; but power not ruled by law is a menace which our nuclear age cannot afford.
real rectify
You cannot rectify every real or alleged wrong immediately. Time must enter into the picture.
religious neutrality constitution
The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.
compelling-reason guarantees constitution
The basic guarantees of our Constitution are warrants for the here and now, and unless there is an overwhelmingly compelling reason, they are to be promptly fulfilled.
exercise rights should-have
No system of criminal justice can, or should, survive if it comes to depend for its continued effectiveness on the citizens' abdication through unawareness of their constitutional rights. No system worth preserving should have to fear that if an accused is permitted to consult with a lawyer, he will become aware of, and exercise, these rights.
past luck different
History teaches us that the past is full of luck and chance and circumstance, without any one of which, life could have been radically different.
rights risk moral
It is never easy to define what is moral, particularly in foreign policy. But at the risk of being simplistic, it appears to me that a foreign policy that is morally right protects human rights everywhere.
moon facts astronaut
I am surprised nothing has been made of the fact that astronaut Neil Armstrong carried no sidearms when he landed on the moon.
war fighting winning
America is not fighting to win a war. We are fighting to give an application to an old Greek proverb, which is that the purpose of war is not to annihilate an enemy but to get him to mend his ways. And we are confident we can get the enemy to mend his.
mouths diplomats problem
Modern diplomats approach every problem with an open mouth
war rights temptation
It is fundamental that the great powers of Congress to conduct war and to regulate the Nation's foreign relations are subject to the constitutional requirements of due process. The imperative necessity for safeguarding these rights to procedural due process under the gravest of emergencies has existed throughout our constitutional history, for it is then, under the pressing exigencies of crisis, that there is the greatest temptation to dispense with fundamental constitutional guarantees which, it is feared, will inhibit governmental action.
government docks columbus
If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock.
