Famous quotes containing the words law and/or justice:

    “The times have changed. Why do you make a fuss
    For privilege when there’s no law of form?”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the great high-road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
