Today's Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.

True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.

I am conservative with a small 'c.' It's possible to be conservative in fiscal policy, and tolerant on moral issues or questions of freedom of expression.

Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom.

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.
