"Liberty is never being too sure you're right."

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of that quote. It's assuming a place beside "Love means never having to say you're sorry." But I really love the liberty to we have to act, in spite of not being sure we're right. But the trial lawyers will have that under control soon enough, no doubt.

That's the first time I've seen it...and it's hogwash!! Liberty has nothing to do with the sort of relativism Judge Hand is speaking of. Now, if he'd said Liberty has something to do with allowing others to hold beliefs that are different than mine, fine!! But there is an ultimate Truth, and once you find it, it makes no sense to overly doubt that which you know to be true!!

I thought Learned Hand was famous for saying: "The beat goes on".
