Our greatest objective, I think, is not to sell our system, but to give advice and help and professional guidance-and that is one of the most important tasks of the legal profession of our country.

Herzen's message, supported by brilliant observation of a Europe which was grandfather to today's discontents, is the simple one that no man is fit to be the master of another, whether his rule is imposed in the name of privilege or brotherhood.
