Barefoot/laws

Famous quotes containing the words barefoot and/or laws:

“Ah! that thou couldst know thy joy,
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

“It is dangerous to tell the people that the laws are unjust; for they obey them only because they think them just. Therefore it is necessary to tell them at the same time that they must obey them because they are laws, just as they must obey superiors, not because they are just, but because they are superiors. In this way all sedition is prevented.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
