Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.

I was made, by the law, a criminal, not because of what I had done, but because of what I stood for.

In executing the duties of my present important station, I can promise nothing but purity of intentions, and, in carrying these into effect, fidelity and diligence.

The world no longer has a choice between force and law; if civilization is to survive, it must choose the rule of law.

The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.

Mob rule cannot be allowed to override the decisions of our courts.
