Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “An endless imbroglio
    Is law and the world,—
    Then first shalt thou know,
    That in the wild turmoil,
    Horsed on the Proteus,
    Thou ridest to power,
    And to endurance.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past, the present, and the future, that we bear within us; whoever possesses but one of these terms, has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.”
    —Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)

    “According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
