QUOTE FOR THE EVENING:
"Law and society are correlative terms, and it is trite learning that neither can exist without the other. But it has been said that a platitude is a truth that no one denies but everyone forgets, and if that is true, it may be worth while to consider the signficance of this particular platitude in the international field. For in the special characteristics of international society lie the conditions which govern the whole problem of the international legal reformer, and no scheme for establishing the international rule of law will lead us far unless it is firmly based on an understanding of them."
-J.L. Brierly, "The Rule of Law in International Society"
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
