Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.

In civilized life, law floats in a sea of ethics.

We are saved by grace, not by the works of the law. But don't be so quick to write the law off.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.

We cannot forget the need to use the law as a shield, but we must remember other forces of the law.

The preservation of our national security and the laws that define us as the United States of America demand that we understand the intersection of the two - indeed, how they reinforce one another.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.

Do we exert our own liberties without injury to others - we exert them justly; do we exert them at the expense of others - unjustly. And, in thus doing, we step from the sure platform of liberty upon the uncertain threshold of tyranny.

We want laws to be applied predictably.
