I Am Not One Of Those Who

It Is Not Enough To Understand, Or To See Clearly. The Future Will Be Shaped In The Arena Of Human Activity, By Those Willing To Commit Their Minds And Their Bodies To The Task.

Always Forgive Your Enemies, But Never Forget Their Names.

Our Future May Lie Beyond Our Vision, But It Is Not Completely Beyond Our Control. It Is The Shaping Impulse Of America That Neither Fate Nor Nature Nor The Irresistible Tides Of History, But The Work Of Our Own Hands, Matched To Reason And Principle, That Will Determine Our Destiny. There Is Pride In That, Even Arrogance, But There Is Also Experience And Truth. In Any Event, It Is The Only Way We Can Live.

You Knew That What Is Given Or Granted Can Be Taken Away, That What Is Begged Can Be Refused; But That What Is Earned Is Kept.

Courage Is The Most Important Attribute Of A Lawyer. It Is More Important Than Competence Or Vision. It Can Never Be An Elective In Any Law School. It Can Never Be De-limited, Dated Or Outworn, And It Should Pervade The Heart, The Halls Of Justice And The Chambers Of The Mind.
