Fraud Includes The Pretense Of Knowledge When

The Constant Assumption Runs Throughout The Law That The Natural And Spontaneous Evolutions Of Habit Fix The Limits Of Right And Wrong.

The Great Ideals Of Liberty And Equality Are Preserved Against The Assaults Of Opportunism, The Expediency Of The Passing Hour, The Erosion Of Small Encroachments, The Scorn And Derision Of Those Who Have No Patience With General Principles.

The Heroic Hours Of Life Do Not Announce Their Presence By Drum And Trumpet.

In Our Worship Of Certainty We Must Distinguish Between The Sound Certainty And The Sham, Between What Is Gold And What Is Tinsel; And Then, When Certainty Is Attained, We Must Remember That It Is Not The Only Good; That We Can Buy It At Too High A Price; That There Is Danger In Perpetual Quiescence As Well As In Perpetual Motion; And That A Compromise Must Be Found In A Principle Of Growth.

History Or Custom Or Social Utility Or Some Compelling Sense Of Justice Or Sometimes Perhaps A Semi-intuitive Apprehension Of The Pervading Spirit Of Our Law Must Come To The Rescue Of The Anxious Judge And Tell Him Where To Go.
