Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or protections:
“In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“There are several good protections against temptations but the surest is cowardice.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
