Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or law:

    How many condemnations I have witnessed more criminal than the crime!
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
