I must speak up to it.” “The final appeal is to the homes of the people and not to the politicians.” “I bring four words of power: Hope, prejudice. There is nothing in the

thoroughness, faith, patriotism, and a master word —righteousness.” “The great book of law—greater than Blackstone, has yet to be written, the book of Institutional law. All history must be rewritten In accordance with scientific methods.” “The truth must be told withdßt world worth while but truth.” “Two thing* we must meet—opportunity and death.
