Quotes

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum - Let justice be done, though the heavens fall

Wherever Law Ends, Tyranny Begins - John Locke

Though shalt not ration justice - Learned Hand

What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. – Learned Hand: The Spirit of Liberty
