About this Quote

This quote by Louis D. Brandeis highlights the value of open and truthful communication in federal government decision-making. According to Brandeis, when people with varying viewpoints have the ability to reveal their views freely and without fear, it leads to a more informed and wise strategy. This is because by considering multiple perspectives and engaging in healthy argument, the very best possible solution can be reached. Brandeis recommends that the suppression of conflicting viewpoints can prevent the progress and effectiveness of governmental action. For that reason, embracing variety of thought and motivating open discussion is crucial for accomplishing effective and wise governance.
