Legal Reasoning
A nation which ever ceases to cherish the memory of Sir Thomas More will
not only have mislaid its measure of human greatness but it will have forgotten
an important lesson that with so much blood and tears, it has ever struggled to
learn. For More was the victim as he was indeed the exponent of the stubborn
illusion that any human institution possesses a monopoly of truth or the power
to impose its dogmas upon all who are subject to its man-made authority.
