Famous quotes containing the words law and/or government:
“Unless the law of marriage were first made human, it could never become divine.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I wish my countrymen to consider that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
