Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    When law becomes despotic, morals are relaxed, and vice versa.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity,

    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    An endless imbroglio
    Is law and the world,—
    Then first shalt thou know,
    That in the wild turmoil,
    Horsed on the Proteus,
    Thou ridest to power,
    And to endurance.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
