Superior Courts

“Men hear gladly of the power of blood or race. Every body likes to know that his advantages cannot be attributed to air, soil, sea, or to local wealth, as mines and quarries, nor to laws and traditions, nor to fortune, but to superior brain, as it makes the praise more personal to him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes; but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.”
