Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “There are three major offenses against filial piety of which not producing an heir is the worst.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    Mencius.

    “But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
