Famous quotes containing the words crime and/or law:

    No crime can ever be defended on rational grounds.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
    Charles Macklin (1690–1797)
