Schenck v. U.S., and "Two of the strongest expressions are said to be quoted respectively from well-known public men"

[Paul Horwitz]

The circular does contain two quotes, neither of them attributed, that might 
fit the (hand)bill: Thomas Paine's line, "These are the times that try men's 
souls," and Wendell Phillips' "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

As I believe has been noted on the listserv before, there is a Web site that 
contains a variety of First Amendment "visual aids," including a PDF copy of 
the circular in Schenck.  See:
