For The Highest Exercise Of Judicial Duty Is To Subordinate One's Personal Pulls And One's Private Views To The Law Of Which We Are All Guaradians - Those Impersonal Convictions That Made A Society A Civilized Community, And Not The Victims Of Personal Rule.

What Becomes Decisive To A Justice's Functioning On The Court In The Large Area Within Which His Individuality Moves Is His General Attitude Toward Law, The Habits Of The Mind That He Has Formed Or Is Capable Of Unforming, His Capacity For Detachment, His Temperament Or Training For Putting His Passion Behind His Judgment Instead Of In Front Of It.
