Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    ““If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.””
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.... He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    “Jesus said to his Jews: “The law was for servants—love God as I love him, as his son! What are morals to us sons of God!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
