Lawful

Famous quotes containing the word lawful:

    All things are lawful there that may delight
    Nature or unrestrained appetite.
    Like and enjoy, to will and act is one;
    We only sin when love’s rites are not done.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    Not all that tempts your wand’ring eyes
    And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;
    Nor all that glisters, gold.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry.
