Liberty is its own reward.
What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind.
The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
Government is not a warfare of interests.
Men grow by having responsibility laid upon them.
My hope is ... that we may recover ... something of a renewal of that vision of the law with which men may be supposed to have started out with in the old days of the oracles, who communed with the intimations of divinity.
