Famous quotes containing the words law and/or river:

    “Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)

    “The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
