    “It is a question whether, when we break a murderer on the wheel, we do not fall into the error a child makes when it hits the chair it has bumped into.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “The refugee uncertain at the door
    You make at home; deftly you steady
    The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.”
    —John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    “The law is a great thing,—because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility; and tell me what they require of you.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
