“The law, for all its failings, has a noble goal - to make the little bit of life that people can actually control more just. We can't end disease or natural disasters, but we can devise rules for our dealings with one another that fairly weigh the rights and needs of everyone, and which, therefore, reflect our best vision of ourselves.” PeopleNeedsLittlesEndsLawBitsGoalNaturalVisionRightsFailingDiseaseLittle BitNobleDisasterFairnessDealingsNatural Disaster Author:Scott Turow
“the true art of the gods is the comic. The comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. In the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own.” MenWorldArtLawArtistVisionComedyDivinePoetMirrorsBoundsGrantedComicTragicStrictSublimeUnlimitedCondescensionStrict Laws Book:Winter's Tales Source: Winter's Tales
“The woman's bill of rights is, unhappily, long overdue. It should have run along with the rights of man in the eighteenth century. Its drag as to time of official proclamation is a drag as to social vision. And even if equal rights were now written into the law of our land, it would be so inadequate today as a means to food, clothing and shelter for woman at large that what they would still be enjoying would be equality in disaster rather than in realistic privilege.” IfsMenShouldMeanLongStillsWould BeRunningTodayLawSocialEnjoyVisionRightsWrittenLandCenturyEqualShould HaveBillsPrivilegeDisasterOfficialsRealisticClothingsDragShelterWomens RightsEqual RightsInadequateBill Of RightsProclamationOverdue Author:Mary Ritter Beard
“Thus, at long last, as a visible emblem of unity was daily growing in the new Palace of Justice then being erected in the Strand, half way between the historic site of Westminster the historic centre of the commercial capital of the world, there began to grow up, in the minds of reformers, the vision of a great and united Supreme Court of Justice, with uniform principles, uniform law, and uniform procedure.” WorldWayMindLongLastsLawGrowsJusticeUnitedHalfVisionPrinciplesGrowing UpGrowingCourtUnitySupremeVisibleUniformsSiteCentreSupreme CourtHistoricPalacesProceduresStrandsReformersEmblemsHalf WayWestminster Author:Edward Jenks
“The study of everything that stands connected with the death of Christ, whether it be in the types of the ceremonial law, the predictions of the prophets, the narratives of the gospels, the doctrines of the epistles, or the sublime vision of the Apocalypse, this is the food of the soul, the manna from heaven, the bread of life. This is "meat indeed" and "drink indeed."” SoulLawHeavenChristVisionStudyTypeDrinkConnectedDoctrineBreadNarrativeMeatProphetSublimePredictionsApocalypseBread Of Life Author:John Angell James
