Famous quotes containing the word law:
“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)
“The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
