Famous quotes containing the words law and, law and/or government:

    A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There was that law of life so cruel and so just which demanded that one must grow or else pay more for remaining the same.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    Our system of government, in spite of Vietnam, Cambodia, CIA, Watergate, is still the best system of government on earth. And the greatest resource of all are the 215 million Americans who still have within us the strength, the character, the intelligence, the experience, the patriotism, the idealism, the compassion, the sense of brotherhood on which we can rely in the future to restore the greatness to our country.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
