Common Law Courts

Famous quotes containing the words common, law and/or courts:

    It is to be presumed, that a man of common sense, who does not desire to please, desires nothing at all; since he must know that he cannot obtain anything without it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The law is not a “light” for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.
    Robert Bolt (1924–1995)

    Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, “Buy.”
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
