For My Part I Think It Is A Less Evil That Some Criminals Should Escape, Than That The Government Should Play An Ignoble Part.

General Propositions Do Not Decide Concrete Cases. The Decision Will Depend On A Judgment Or Intuition More Subtle Than Any Articulate Major Premise.

Pretty Much All Law Consists In Forbidding Men To Do Something That They Want To Do.

The Noblest Service Comes From Nameless Hands; And The Best Servant Does His Work Unseen.
