Famous quotes containing the word law:

    The law before us, my lords, seems to be the effect of that practice of which it is intended likewise to be the cause, and to be dictated by the liquor of which it so effectually promotes the use; for surely it never before was conceived by any man entrusted with the administration of public affairs, to raise taxes by the destruction of the people.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You made us in the House of Pain. You made us things. Not men, not beasts, part-man, part-beast: things.
    Waldemar Young, U.S. screenwriter. Erle C. Kenton. Sayer of the Law (Bela Lugosi)
