Faced with the pain of freedom, man begs for his shackles.

We could advance the human race enormously if we but learned to communicate honestly with our neighbors.

We must begin to train lawyers the minute they walk into law school to tell the truth. They must immediately begin to learn the business of representing people. They must be assigned cases the first day.

And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?
