Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    The basis of good manners is self-reliance. Necessity is the law of all who are not self-possessed.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
