The Public Needs The Equivalent

The Legal Relations Between The Individual And The Community Which Arise Out Of The Production And Distribution Of Property, Comprise By Far The Greater, And More Important, Part Of The Law; Subtract These And Very Little Content Would Be Left.

I Often Wonder Whether We Do Not Rest Our Hopes Too Much Upon Constitutions, Upon Law And Upon Courts. These Are False Hopes, Believe Me, These Are False Hopes. Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save It; No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Even Do Much To Help It. While It Lies There It Needs No Constitution, No Law, No Courts To Save It.

The Lawyer Must Either Learn To Live More Capaciously Or Be Content To Find Himself Continuously Less Trusted, More Circumscribed, Till He Becomes Hardly More Important Than A Minor Administrator, Confined To A Monotonous Round Of Record And Routine, Without Dignity, Inspiration, Or Respect.

We Shall Succeed Only So Far As We Continue To Undertake “the Intolerable Labor Of Thought” — That Most Distasteful Of All Our Activities.

When I Say That A Thing Is True, I Mean That I Cannot Help Believing It... But...i Do Not Venture To Assume That My Inabilities In The Way Of Thought Are Inabilities Of The Universe. I Therefore Define Truth As The System Of My Limitations, And Leave Absolute Truth For Those Who Are Better Equipped.
