James Beck: “They differed, at times heatedly, but always as gentlemen of candour and honour.”

Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.

The tendency of group morality to standardize man--and thus reduce all men to the dead level of an average mediocrity--is one that the law should combat.

It did not believe that the State was omnipotent or infallible, and yet it proclaimed its authority within wise and just limits.

That vision still remains as an ideal with the American people and still leads them to ever-higher achievements, for in all the mad changes of a frenzied hour, they have not yet lost faith in or love for the Constitution of the Fathers!
