I Believe That As Long

There Are People In Every Time And Every Land Who Want To Stop History In Its Tracks. They Fear The Future, Mistrust The Present, And Invoke The Security Of The Comfortable Past Which, In Fact, Never Existed.

Now I Can Go Back To Being Ruthless Again.

The Future Is Not A Gift: It Is An Achievement. Every Generation Helps Make Its Own Future. This Is The Essential Challenge Of The Present

All Do Not Develop In The Same Manner, Or At The Same Pace. Nations, Like Men, Often March To The Beat Of Different Drummers, And The Precise Solutions Of The United States Can Neither Be Dictated Nor Transplanted To Others. What Is Important Is That All Nations Must March Toward Increasing Freedom; Toward Justice For All; Toward A Society Strong And Flexible Enough To Meet The Demands Of All Its Own People, And A World Of Immense And Dizzying Change.

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.
