Heretics Have Been Hated From The Beginning

Justice Is The Tolerable Accommodation Of The Conflicting Interests Of Society, And I Don't Believe There Is Any Royal Road To Attain Such Accommodation Concretely.

The Profession Of The Law Of Which He [a Judge] Is A Part Is Charged With The Articulation And Final Incidence Of The Successive Efforts Towards Justice; It Must Feel The Circulation Of The Communal Blood Or It Will Wither And Drop Off, A Useless Member.

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.

It Is Still In The Lap Of The Gods Whether A Society Can Succeed Which Is Based On "civil Liberties And Human Rights" Conceived As I Have Tried To Describe Them; But Of One Thing At Least We May Be Sure: The Alternatives That Have So Far Appeared Have Been Immeasurably Worse.

The Lawyer Must Either Learn To Live More Capaciously Or Be Content To Find Himself Continuously Less Trusted, More Circumscribed, Till He Becomes Hardly More Important Than A Minor Administrator, Confined To A Monotonous Round Of Record And Routine, Without Dignity, Inspiration, Or Respect.
