Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Billings Learned Hand was one of the most accomplished and eloquent speakers in US court history, serving for more than 50 years as both a District and Circuit Court judge. He spoke and wrote in a way that compels us, the listener and reader to internalize, think on, and act upon his words.
Today's quote was spoken by Hand, originally, during an address to the students of Yale Law in 1931. It's as true today as ever.
