Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
