Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
    Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:19-20.

    The wit of man has devised cruel statutes,
    And nature oft permits what is by law forbid.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
