Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “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)

    “Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “It will be seen that we contemplate a time when man’s will shall be law to the physical world, and he shall no longer be deterred by such abstractions as time and space, height and depth, weight and hardness, but shall indeed be the lord of creation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
