If de fust woman God ever made was strong enough to turn de world upside down all alone, dese women togedder (and she glanced her eye over the platform) ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now dey is asking to do it, de men better let 'em.

All of the legal defense funds out there, they're looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law, I know. I know.

Our God have mercy upon us, that we may use the law lawfully, the end of the commandment, pure charity.

And I, miserable, believed that more mercy was to be shown to the fruits of the earth than men, for whom they were created.

An unjust law is no law at all.

Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.

The love of God does not consist in tears or in this delight ad tenderness, which for the greater part we desire and find consolation in; but it consists in serving with justice and fortitude of soil and in humility. Without such service it seems to me we would be receiving everything and giving nothing.

Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to affairs.

Justice is the handmaiden of truth, and when truth dies, justice is buried with it.

It is sometimes said that conduct is supremely important and worship helps it. The truth is that worship is supremely important and conduct tests it

The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.

There can be no mercy without truth.
