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)

    No law is sufficiently convenient to all.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
