Famous quotes containing the words land and/or laws:
“In Europe the object is to make the most of their land, labour being abundant: here it is to make the most of our labour, land being abundant.”

“It is dangerous to tell the people that the laws are unjust; for they obey them only because they think them just. Therefore it is necessary to tell them at the same time that they must obey them because they are laws, just as they must obey superiors, not because they are just, but because they are superiors. In this way all sedition is prevented.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
