Doubt/law

Famous quotes containing the words doubt and/or law:

    So easy is it, though many housekeepers doubt it, to establish new and better customs in the place of the old.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At the end of one millennium and nine centuries of Christianity, it remains an unshakable assumption of the law in all Christian countries and of the moral judgment of Christians everywhere that if a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
