The most often quoted passage was of Holmes' opinion is:
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. [...] The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
The words "as to create a clear and present danger" are now applied to a number of situations in which a person may be a threat to others or to a community.
