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

    Jesus said to his Jews: “The law was for servants—love God as I love him, as his son! What are morals to us sons of God!”

    And she, by passion once demented
    MThat woman out of Botticelli—

    The stupid and abiding jelly.

    Though it is very important for man as an individual that his religion should be true, that is not the case for society. Society has nothing to fear or hope from another life; what is most important for it is not that all citizens profess the true religion but that they should profess religion.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
