Famous quotes containing the word law:
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (18481925)
“Mr. Brownlow: The law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.
Bumble: If thats what the law supposes, sir, then the laws an ass. And if thats the eye of the law, sir, then the laws a bachelor.”
—Vernon Harris (c. 1910)
