On the sign:
A THOUSAND YEARS OF JUDGMENT STRETCH BEHIND – THE WEIGHT OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS BALANCING
WITH FAIRNESS AND WITH DUTY TO THE WORLD: THE CLARITY TIME-HONOURED THINKING BRINGS.

NEW STRUCTURES BUT AN OLD FOUNDATION STONE: THE MIND OF JUSTICE STILL AT LIBERTY
FOUR NATIONS SEPARATE BUT LINKED AS ONE: THE LIGHT OF REASON FALLING EQUALLY.
