Famous quotes containing the words notable, case and/or law:

    In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    What do you think of the human mind? I mean, in case you think there is a human mind.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Mr. Brownlow: The law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.
    Bumble: If that’s what the law supposes, sir, then the law’s an ass. And if that’s the eye of the law, sir, then the law’s a bachelor.
    Vernon Harris (c. 1910)
