“Our course of advance … is neither a straight line nor a curve. It is a series of dots and dashes.”
Benjamin N. Cardozo (1870–1938) United States federal judge
Other writings, The Paradoxes of Legal Science (1928)
Context: Our course of advance... is neither a straight line nor a curve. It is a series of dots and dashes. Progress comes per saltum, by successive compromises between extremes, compromises often … between "positivism and idealism". The notion that a jurist can dispense with any consideration as to what the law ought to be arises from the fiction that the law is a complete and closed system, and that judges and jurists are mere automata to record its will or phonographs to pronounce its provisions.
“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds.”
Charles Fillmore (1854–1948) American mystic
Source: Mysteries Of John (1946)
Context: When we accomplish this transformation we shall see Jesus as He is and as we must all be in the resurrection from the dead and dying body in which we are now functioning. This is not to be accomplished by a great miracle at some appointed time in the future, but day by day we shall be resurrected out of the darkness of sense into the glorious light of Spirit.
