Citas de George Sutherland

• A free press stands as one of the great interpreters between the government and the people. To allow it to be fettered is to fetter ourselves.

• To give a man his life but deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty, is to still leave him a slave.

• No es el derecho de propiedad lo que se protege, sino el derecho a la propiedad. La propiedad, per se, no tiene derechos; pero el individuo -el hombre- tiene tres grandes derechos, igualmente sagrados frente a la interferencia arbitraria: el derecho a la vida, el derecho a la libertad y el derecho a la propiedad. Dar a un hombre su vida pero negarle su libertad, es quitarle todo lo que hace que su vida merezca ser vivida. Darle la libertad pero quitarle la propiedad, que es el fruto y la insignia de su libertad, es dejarle esclavo.

• The right to be heard would be, in many cases, of little avail if it did not comprehend the right to be heard by counsel. Even the intelligent and educated layman has small and sometimes no skill in the science of law.

• El pueblo de esta tierra... desea preservar esas [libertades] protegidas por la Primera Enmienda... Si es así, que resistan todo intento de usurpación. Porque el epitafio más triste que se puede esculpir en la memoria de una libertad vencida es que se perdió porque sus poseedores no tendieron una mano salvadora mientras aún había tiempo.
