“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)

Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless.”

Till I enravisht climb into
The Godhead on this ladder doe:
Where all my pipes inspir’de upraise
And Heavenly musick, furr’d with praise.”
