Famous quotes containing the words law and/or government:
“Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man;
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
