Famous quotes containing the words reform and/or laws:

    And let Reform her columns roll.
    With thunder peal, and lightening flash.
    We’ll preach deliverance to the soul.
    ‘Mid proud Oppression’s waning crash.
    Ignis, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Genius of Liberty, pp. 9-10 (November 1853)

    Those rules of old discovered, not devised,
    Are Nature sill, but Nature methodized;
    Nature, like liberty, is but restrained
    By the same laws which first herself ordained.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
