The Prophet And The Martyr Do Not

I Take Judge-made Law As One Of The Existing Realities Of Life.

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

Inaction Without More Is Not Tantamount To Choice.

We Seek To Find Peace Of Mind In The Word, The Formula, The Ritual. The Hope Is Illusion.

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.
