Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “Nobody dast blame this man.... For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to the life. He don’t put a bolt to a nut, he don’t tell you the law or give you medicine. He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory.”
    —Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Galatians 6:2.

    “Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
