Formal Law

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or law:

    Then the justice,
    In fair round belly with good capon lined,
    With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
    Full of wise saws and modern instances;
    And so he plays his part.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The wit of man has devised cruel statutes,
    And nature oft permits what is by law forbid.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
