Justice must take account of infinite circumstances which a human being cannot understand.

It may never come, but I fancy than no man who has sympathy for the human race does not wish that sometime those who labor should have the whole product of their toil. Probably it will never come, but I wish that the time might come when men who work in the industries would own the industries.

Punishment as punishment is not admissible unless the offender has had the freewill to select his course.

Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve.

In the great flood of human life that is spawned upon the earth, it is not often that a man is born.

Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.
