Trousers/law

Famous quotes containing the words trousers and/or law:

“You should never have your best trousers on when you turn out to fight for freedom and truth.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
