Obey Quotations
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.
C. S. Lewis
Obey the principles without being bound by them.
Bruce Lee
Good men must not obey the laws too well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Khalil Gibran
Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.
Niccolo Machiavelli
I can no longer obey; I have tasted command, and I cannot give it up.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.
Albert Camus
