Famous quotes containing the word law:

    “The law of nature is, do the thing, and you shall have the power: but they who do not the thing have not the power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Jesus said to his Jews: “The law was for servants—love God as I love him, as his son! What are morals to us sons of God!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I wish my countrymen to consider that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
