I'm beginning to think my name has been changed to 'Damn it' or 'Asshole'” Styxx
The discussion which was made by Luther, Melancthon, and the other persons who preceded the Reformation, opened the eyes or the public; and they got rid of the delusions which had been spread by the Pope of Rome, and emancipated mankind from the spiritual tyranny they were under, and brought about the establishment of that religion which we now enjoy in this country.
Modus in rebus there must be an end of things.
The use of cases is to establish principles; if the cases decide different from the principles, I must follow the principles, not the decisions.
There are cases where examinations are admitted, namely, before the coroner, and before magistrates in cases of felony. That appears to me to go rather in support of the general rule than in destruction of it. Every exception that can be accounted for is so much a confirmation of the rule that it has become a maxim, Exceptio probat regulam.
No stops are ever inserted in Acts of Parliament, or in deeds; but the Courts of law, in construing them, must read them with such stops as will give effect to the whole.
The popish religion is now unknown to the law of this country.
The family consists of those who live under the same roof with the pater familias ; those who form (if I may use the expression) his fire-side.
Though this motion for a new trial is an application to the discretion of the Court, it must be remembered that the discretion to be exercised on such an occasion is not a wild but a sound discretion, and to be confined within those limits within which an honest man, competent to discharge the duties of his office, ought to confine himself.

It is a maxim in our law that a plaintiff must shew that he stands on a fair ground when he calls on a Court of justice to administer relief to him.
The legislature have anxiously provided for those most useful and deserving body of men, the seamen and marines of this country.
It is of great importance that the laws by which the contracts of so numerous and so useful a body of men as the sailors are supposed to be guided, should not be overturned.
It is sometimes difficult to get rid of first impressions.
A Court of equity can mould interests differently from a Court of law; and can give relief in cases where a Court of law cannot.
Those regulations that are adapted to the common race of men are the best.
If people with the very best intentions carry on prosecutions that are oppressive, the end may not always perhaps sanctify the means.
A conviction is in the nature of a verdict and judgment, and therefore it must be precise and certain.
I take it that the judgment is an essential point in every conviction, let the punishment be fixed or not.

What made you so unforgiving? (Simone) Be grateful that you have the luxury of asking me that question. Pray to whatever god you worship that you’ll always be ignorant. (Xypher)
