“The most important office, and the one which all of
us can and should fill, is that of private citizen. The duties of the office of
private citizen cannot under a republican form of government be neglected
without serious injury to the public.”—Future Associate Supreme Court Justice
Louis Brandeis (1856-1941), to a reporter for the
Boston Record, April 14,
1903, quoted in Alpheus Thomas Mason, Brandeis: A Free Man's Life (1946)
