Famous quotes containing the words law and/or policy:

    “The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counterauthority to the law.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
