[Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, as quoted in the New York Times, New York]

The two most precious things in this world are liberty and justice. Neither can exist apart from the other. Both must be taught and both must be learned. This means instruction, guidance, and discipline. Respect for law depends upon man's ability and willingness to change the law to meet his changing needs.

Those individuals and that social order which do not grasp the significance of these fundamental facts and uphold them are not walking on the path of progress. They are headed for destruction. The successful and the continuing state will be one composed of those individual citizens who, in Ruskin's phrase, have "the firmness to govern and the grace to obey."
