Justice is the idea of God, the ideal of man, the rule of conduct writ in the nature of mankind.

What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.

No virtue fades out of mankind. Not over-hopeful by inborn temperament, cautious by long experience, I yet never despair of human virtue.

What sad faces one always sees in the asylums for orphans! It is more fatal to neglect the heart than the head.

All the spaces between my mind and the mind of God are full of truths waiting to be crystallized into laws for the government of the masses.

All men desire to be immortal.

The use of great men is to serve the little men, to take care of the human race, and act as practical interpreters of justice and truth.
