...national law school, and a school of the common law, the Harvard Law School believes in social control through reason, not through arbitrary flats of the sovereign will. It believes in law as the scientific application of reason to the problems of the legal order, not in rules of law resting upon the authority of its sovereign. It seeks to find this reason, and the means and modes of applying it, through study of the experience of English-speaking peoples in administering justice. It takes it for a postulate of civilized society that every one, in or out of authority...
...Harvard Fund is intended to operate, not for any one day or generation, but for all time. It is entirely dissociated from any idea of a "campaign" or a "drive" and should have about it nothing that is either formidable or forbidding. Its sovereign importance is that it shall exist in perpetuity to receive annually whatever a graduate may care to give. The very idea of unrestricted funds precludes any suggestion of fixed amount: There is, and will be, no quota. If the number of men contributing is satisfactorily large, the aggregate amount contributed will undoubtedly be satisfactory also...
Scarcely a sovereign in Europe is so wisely and graciously parsimonious as Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria of Orange, Queen of the Netherlands.

Beside him sat the Queen-Empress, Victoria Mary, daughter of the late Francis Duke of Teck. Few of all the throngs that cheered them recalled that in 1892, one year before they were married, the death of Albert, Prince of Wales (now commonly referred...
Benito Dixit. "The adjective 'sovereign' as applied to 'the people' is a tragic burlesque! . . . Governments exclusively based on the consent of the governed have never existed, do not exist, and will probably never exist. . . . Can you imagine a war proclaimed by referendum? . . . I do not tell you, O people, that you are as gods. As I love you truly, so I should say to you that you are dirty, you must arise and cleanse yourselves; you are ignorant, therefore set yourselves to gain instruction. . . . Horny hands are not enough to prove a man capable of guiding a state. . . . We must...
