The final cause of law is the welfare of society.
Justice, though due to the accused, is due the accuser also. The concept of fairness cannot be strained till it is narrowed to a filament. We are to keep our balance true.
I take judge-made law as one of the existing realities of life.
Justice is not to be taken by storm. She is to be wooed by slow advances.
Prophecy, however honest, is generally a poor substitute for experience.
Not honesty alone, but the punctilio of an honor the most sensitive, is then the standard of behavior.
