Famous quotes containing the words legal, tender and/or act:
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves....

That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”

“This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me—
The simple News that Nature told—
With tender Majesty.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The act of bellringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
