Famous quotes containing the words law and/or government:
“The first law of story-telling.... Every man is bound to leave a story better than he found it.”
—Humphrey, Mrs. Ward (1851–1920)
“I incline to think that the people will not now sustain the policy of upholding a State Government against a rival government, by the use of the forces of the United States. If this leads to the overthrow of the de jure government in a State, the de facto government must be recognized.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
