Impression/law

Famous quotes containing the words impression and/or law:

“There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
