CHARLES FRIED

Our economy of allegiance simply is not infinitely expandable. If we become more Virginian or Georgian, surely we will also feel more remote, less responsible for the poor of Kentucky or of the ghettoes of Chicago. If we became more Virginian, we would be less American.

Without a commitment to privacy, respect, love, friendship and trust are simply inconceivable.

If only people who are ideologically committed to a particular outcome argued to the courts, the law would be worse off.

There are times when you earn your rather inadequate salary by just doing the right thing.
