If the government becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

Brandeis strongly defended the individual right to privacy from government intrusion.

It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
