Random awesome court-case-ruling quote:
"Both observation and experience teach, that the human mind
acts with increased power according to the pressure put
upon it. Give it time and it acts slowly. Force it to
decide promptly, as the General is required to do on the
battle-field, and the statesman in the midst of
revolutions, and the same mind will do the work of a month
in a moment; and what is more, will do it better. True, the
effect upon the individual himself, is most exhausting, but
the public does not suffer."
