Fredericka Brandeis, mother of United States Supreme Court Justice, Louis Dembitz Brandeis, said it well: "...I believe that only goodness and truth and conduct that is humane and self-sacrificing toward those who need us can bring God nearer to us, and that our errors can only be atoned by our acting in a more kindly spirit...."

Justice Brandeis apparently treasured his mother's words. Throughout his life, he sought to associate with people of virtue. He found them here in Boston: 1st, among Protestant academics affiliated with Harvard University. He particularly shared mutual admiration with President Eliot. 2nd, among Irish Catholic labor leaders of the late 19th century. He particularly shared mutual concerns with Mary Kenney. 3rd, among Jewish garment workers and employers. He considered himself a partner in spirit with New York laborers and Boston's Filene brothers in seeking to understand both perspectives of employees and employers. 4th, among Zionists who were trying to re-create a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine as early as the 1890s. He considered their dedicated idealism to putting Bible values into practice amazing. They considered him a worthy friend who could advance the idea of a home for the Jewish people.
