“We may be confident that it will always be thought a dignified and a worthy thing for a man to study the rules of conduct by which human society is governed and to defend the rights those rules are designed to protect…True, we build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

- John W. Davis
