Famous quotes containing the words law, abiding and/or citizens:

    “An endless imbroglio
    Is law and the world,—
    Then first shalt thou know,
    That in the wild turmoil,
    Horsed on the Proteus,
    Thou ridest to power,
    And to endurance.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And she, by passion once demented
    MThat woman out of Botticelli—
    She brews and bottles, unfermented,
    The stupid and abiding jelly.”
    —Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    “What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.”
