Famous quotes containing the words customary, legal and/or systems:
“‘Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,
...
Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
