Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.

For if God is a title of the highest power, He must be incorruptible, perfect, incapable of suffering, and subject to no other being; therefore they are not gods whom necessity compels to obey the one greatest God.

For it is, and must remain, the case that we must obey God rather than man.
Martin Niemoller
Good men must not obey the laws too well.

I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.
