Make the most of it, the advantage you get by competition
is but not absolute, it is but comparative:
as between Court and Court it gives to the best qualified,
or the least ill qualified set of Judges, the most business: it
causes each set bench of Judges, or rather say rather the President of each Bench
to endeavour to excell the President of the other Bench.
But if both be ill qualified by nature, competition will
not do away remove the imperfections fixt by nature.

Again.– Honour being the prize, love of Honour is the
spur. But where money is out of the question, and all
further advance ascent on the scale of honour impossible or
hopeless – especially at that time of life at which the greater
number of Judges will commonly be found, there is honour
finds a rival, growing every day stronger and stronger, while
honour himself is growing every day weaker and weaker,
and that is Ease. Most other loves lose strength by desires part with strength by
time: love of ease receives derives strength from that source.
