Lawful

Famous quotes containing the word lawful:

    It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Me of my lawful pleasure she restrained,
    And prayed me oft forbearance; did it with
    A pudency so rosy the sweet view on’t
    Might well have warmed old Saturn; that I thought her
    As chaste as unsunned snow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    All things are lawful for me, but not all things are beneficial.
