Famous quotes containing the words country and/or codes:
“That country where a man can be so crossed;
Can be so battered, badgered and destroyed
That he’s a loveless man....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
