Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right.”

“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
