Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    The wit of man has devised cruel statutes,
    And nature oft permits what is by law forbid.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The first law of story-telling.... Every man is bound to leave a story better than he found it.
    Humphrey, Mrs. Ward (1851–1920)
