Fooling the People |
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the
people all the time, but you can't
fool all of the people all of the time."
|
Peoples Verdict |
The verdict of the people can always be trusted when they have
had a fair chance to hear the evidence.

No Man Higher Than the Law
"No man in this country is so high that he
is above the law. No officer of the law may set that law in defiance
with impunity. All the officers of the Government, from the highest
to the lowest, are creatures of the law, and are bound to obey it. It
is the only supreme power in our system of government, and every man
who by accepting office participates in its functions is only the
more strongly bound to submit to that supremacy, and to observe the
limitations which it imposes upon the exercise of the authority which
it gives."
--From the Arlington cases (106 U.S., 196).
Self Possession
The man who cannot be excited, and cannot be made to lose his self-command,
has an immense advantage, in the simple fact that he is at all times
fully possessed of all his own powers, and ready to take full
advantage of every opportunity.
Last Words
His last words were delirious: Gentlemen of the jury, the case
is closed, and in your hands. You will please retire and agree upon
your verdict.

Crimes |
Delays in punishing
crimes encourage the
commission of crime. The
more certain and speedy
the punishment, the fewer
will be the objects.

What Money? |
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed
at night and in between does what he wants to do.
|
