Famous quotes containing the word law:

“Faith, I have been a truant in the law,
And never yet could frame my will to it,
And therefore frame the law unto my will.”

“In a democracy—even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-élitist one—the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
