Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony
    of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm XIX (l. XIX, 7)

    “In law it is a good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
