Liberal Natural Law

Famous quotes containing the words liberal, natural and/or law:

    We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man;
    No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
