The Mission Of The Law Is Not To Oppress Persons And Plunder Them Of Their Property, Even Though The Law May Be Acting In A Philanthropic Spirit. Its Purpose Is To Protect Persons And Property.... If You Exceed This Proper Limit -- If You Attempt To Make The Law Religious, Fraternal, Equalizing, Philanthropic, Industrial, Or Artistic -- You Will Then Be Lost In Uncharted Territory, In Vagueness And Uncertainty, In A Forced Utopia Or, Even Worse, In A Multitude Of Utopias, Each Striving To Seize The Law And Impose It On You.
