Famous quotes containing the word law:

“They are the lovers of law and order who observe the law when the government breaks it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“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)
