    International relationships are ... preordained to be clumsy gestures based on imperfect knowledge.

    If he who breaks the law is not punished, he who obeys it is cheated.

The aim of criminal law cannot be correction or deterrence; it can only be the maintenance of the legal order.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    A theory if you hold it hard enough
    And long enough gets rated as a creed....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Subject the material world to the higher ends by understanding it in all its relations to daily life and action.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
