Membership In The Bar Is A Privilege

Law Never Is, But Is Always About To Be.

In Our Worship Of Certainty We Must Distinguish Between The Sound Certainty And The Sham, Between What Is Gold And What Is Tinsel; And Then, When Certainty Is Attained, We Must Remember That It Is Not The Only Good; That We Can Buy It At Too High A Price; That There Is Danger In Perpetual Quiescence As Well As In Perpetual Motion; And That A Compromise Must Be Found In A Principle Of Growth.

Danger Invites Rescue. ... The Wrongdoer May Not Have Foreseen The Coming Of A Deliverer. He Is Accountable As If He Had.

The Great Tides And Currents Which Engulf The Rest Of Men Do Not Turn Aside In Their Course And Pass The Judges By.

Consequences Cannot Alter Statutes, But May Help To Fix Their Meaning.
