This is meant to be read by my readers, sorry, to the ones who speak English.
I got up early this morning thinking about him.
I always admired him ,and sometimes it's important to read words from a great man.
May be we should print them and try to remember them.

Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.
