Famous quotes containing the word law:

    The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
    Charles Macklin (1690–1797)

    Most magazines have that look of being predestined to be left which one sees on the faces of the women whose troubles bring them to the Law Courts.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man;
    No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
