I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system - that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.
- Atticus Finch


An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
- Henry Ford


Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.
- Mahatma Gandhi
