Most-quoted passages

““We indulged the cautionary remark, however, that a right so important was ‘not to be lightly held the subject of waiver.’ We accordingly approved what was said in the concluding paragraph of the opinion in the Patton case as to the safeguards to be thrown around an exercise of the right to waive a jury in felony cases.””
