The Aim Of Law Is

What To An Outsider Will Be No More Than The Vigorous Presentation Of A Conviction, To An Employee May Be The Manifestation Of A Determination Which It Is Not Safe To Thwart.

I Often Wonder Whether We Do Not Rest Our Hopes Too Much Upon Constitutions, Upon Law And Upon Courts. These Are False Hopes, Believe Me, These Are False Hopes. Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save It; No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Even Do Much To Help It. While It Lies There It Needs No Constitution, No Law, No Courts To Save It.

We Recently Had A Referendum In New York About Extending The Forest Preserve. The City Voted For It By A Large Majority; Yet As I Walk The Streets I Do Not See Afforestation Written With Conviction On The Harried Faces Of My Fellow Citizens.

Right Knows No Boundaries, And Justice No Frontiers; The Brotherhood Of Man Is Not A Domestic Institution.

The Fathers Who Contrived And Passed The Consititution Were Wise In Their Generation; As Time Passes, We Come More And More To Realize Their Powers Of Divination.
