Benjamin N. Cardozo: Zitate auf Englisch

“Inaction without more is not tantamount to choice.”

Richard v. Credit Suisse, 242 N.Y. 346, 351 (N.Y. 1926)
Judicial opinions

“Membership in the bar is a privilege burdened with conditions.”

In re Rouss, 221 N.Y. 81, 84 (N.Y. 1917)

“Not honesty alone, but the punctilio of an honor the most sensitive, is then the standard of behavior.”

Meinhard v. Salmon, 249 N.Y. 458, 164 N.E. 545 (N.Y. 1928), describing the fiduciary duties inherent in a partnership.
Judicial opinions

“Danger invites rescue. … The wrongdoer may not have foreseen the coming of a deliverer. He is accountable as if he had.”

Wagner v. International Railway Co., 232 N.Y. 13 (N.Y. 1926), setting forth the rescue doctrine which holds negligent parties liable not only for injury to the victim, but to those who attempt to rescue the victim.
Judicial opinions

“The defendant styles herself "a creator of fashions." Her favor helps a sale. Manufacturers of dresses, millinery and like articles are glad to pay for a certificate of her approval. The things which she designs, fabrics, parasols and what not, have a new value in the public mind when issued in her name. She employed the plaintiff to help her to turn this vogue into money.”

Wood v. Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, 222 N.Y. 88, 91; 118 N.E. 214 (N.Y. 1917). This opening paragraph has been debated among legal practitioners, some of whom take its tone to be a sly rebuke by Cardozo of a profession which he considered to have an exaggerated influence.

"The Game of the Law" In Law and Literature and Other Essays and Addresses (1931), p. 163
