Famous quotes containing the words world and/or law:
“The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (18661948)
“Mr. Brownlow: The law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.
Bumble: If thats what the law supposes, sir, then the laws an ass. And if thats the eye of the law, sir, then the laws a bachelor.”
—Vernon Harris (c. 1910)
