Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    “Learn hence for ancient rules a just esteem;
    To copy Nature is to copy them.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
