Its protection should be given to those of superior skill and diligence, who ask the due rewards of such superiority.
It must champion the human soul in its God-given right to exercise freely the faculties of mind and body.
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.
