Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    The law of nature is, do the thing, and you shall have the power: but they who do not the thing have not the power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It will be seen that we contemplate a time when man’s will shall be law to the physical world, and he shall no longer be deterred by such abstractions as time and space, height and depth, weight and hardness, but shall indeed be the lord of creation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
