The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
Clarence Darrow
When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
Honore de Balzac
If you can manipulate news, a judge can manipulate the law. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation- unfairly.
Mario Cuomo
I am not afraid of being sued by white businessmen. In fact, I should welcome such a law suit.
Carter G. Woodson
It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard.
Hermann Hesse
There seems to be a law that governs all our actions so I never make plans.
Greta Garbo
The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.
John Locke
Decency is the least of all laws, but yet it is the law which is most strictly observed.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Law, without force, is impotent.
Blaise Pascal
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
Quentin Crisp
No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
More law, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The safety of the people shall be the highest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The best interpreter of the law is custom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
