“The law is a statement of the circumstances in which the public force will be brought to bear upon men through the courts.”

“The cases are bold and comprehensive assertions of plenary power in Congress over the territories.”

“Liberty is not license and consists not in a right in every man to do what he pleases.”

“The purpose of the Constitution is to restrict the majority's will.”

“Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.”
