Here I Am An Old Man In

Would We Hold Liberty, We Must Have Charity- Charity To Others, Charity To Ourselves, Crawling Up From The Moist Ovens Of A Steaming World, Still Carrying The Passional Equipment Of Our Ferocious Ancestors, Emerging From Black Superstition Amid Carnage And Atrocity To Our Perilous Present.

The Public Official Must Pick His Way Nicely, Must Learn To Placate Though Not To Yield Too Much, To Have The Art Of Honeyed Words But Not To Seem Neutral, And Above All To Keep Constantly Audible, Visible, Likable, Even Kissable.

The Spirit Of Liberty Is The Spirit Of Him Who, Near Two Thousand Years Ago, Taught Mankind That Lesson It Has Never Learned ... .

A Government Of Laws Without Men Is As Visionary As A Government Of Men Without Laws.

It Is The Daily; It Is The Small; It Is The Cumulative Injuries Of Little People That We Are Here To Protect....if We Are Able To Keep Our Democracy, There Must Be Once Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Ration Justice.
