There are very little things in this life I cannot afford and patience is one of them.
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
Like other human institutions, courts and juries are not perfect. One cannot have a system of criminal punishment without accepting the possibility that someone will be punished mistakenly.
Architecture is involved with the world, but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work, like any art.

Any newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors, I cannot understand how an innocent hand can touch a newspaper without convulsing in disgust.
I think racial profiling is wrong. It cannot be defended. It's just flat wrong. And if a matter came before me, and it could be established that the arrest was made strictly on racial profiling, when I was on the bench, it would be gone.
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.

Conspiracies, since they cannot be engaged in without the fellowship of others, are for that reason most perilous; for as most men are either fools or knaves, we run excessive risk in making such folk our companions.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
Morally bankrupt wage practices and laws cannot hold.
God has made Canada one of those nations which cannot be conquered and cannot be destroyed, except by itself.
