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)

“There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedient’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
