• Those who want their rights respected under the Constitution and the law ought to set the example themselves of observing the Constitution and the law.

Those who disregard the rules of society are not exhibiting a superior intelligence, are not promoting freedom and independence, are not following the path of civilization, but are displaying the traits of ignorance, of servitude, of savagery, and treading the way that leads back to the jungle.
