Justice Brandeis Stealing from Yoda:

Brandeis, in Whitney v. California (1927):
[F]ear breeds repression; . . . repression breeds hate; . . . hate
menaces stable government . . . .
Yoda, a long, long time ago:
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads
to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Note that, like Brandeis and Yoda, great minds think alike: After I
thought of this, I noticed that [1]Jewish Buddha got there earlier.
