Life Is Not A Thing

"i Beseech Ye In The Bowels Of Christ, Think That Ye May Be Mistaken." I Should Like To Have That Written Over The Portals Of Every Church, Every School, And Every Courthouse, And, May I Say, Of Every Legislative Body In The United States. I Should Like To Have Every Court Begin, "i Beseech Ye In The Bowels Of Christ, Think That We May Be Mistaken."

Life Is Made Up Of A Series Of Judgments On Insufficient Data, And If We Waited To Run Down All Our Doubts, It Would Flow Past Us.

A Self-made Man May Prefer A Self-made Name.

I Had Rather Take My Chance That Some Traitors Will Escape Detection Than Spread Abroad A Spirit Of General Suspicion And Distrust, Which Accepts Rumor And Gossip In Place Of Undismayed And Unintimidated Inquiry.

The Language Of The Law Must Not Be Foreign To The Ears Of Those Who Are To Obey It.
