Famous quotes containing the words power and/or law:
“He had come down, He said, to clean the earth
Of the dirtiness of war.

His power did not fail. It was that, simply,
He found how much the people wanted war.”

“Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man;
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.”
