Famous quotes containing the words laws of, laws and/or motion:

    “Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “The laws were not made so much for the direction of good men, as to circumscribe the bad.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
