Famous quotes containing the word law:

    Concord’s little arch does not span all our fate, nor is what transpires under it law for the universe.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man;
    No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
