Famous quotes containing the words exact and/or laws:

    “Bid her paint till day of doom,
    To this favour she must come.
    Bid the merchant gather wealth,
    The usurer exact by stealth,
    The proud man beat it from his thought,
    Yet to this shape all must be brought.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    “It is clear that in a monarchy, where he who commands the exceution of the laws generally thinks himself above them, there is less need of virtue than in a popular government, where the person entrusted with the execution of the laws is sensible of his being subject to their direction.”
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
