Famous quotes containing the words canadian and/or law:
“We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”

“The law is a great thing,—because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility; and tell me what they require of you.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
