Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    When shot, the deer seldom drops immediately, but runs sometimes for hours, the hunter in hot pursuit. This phase, known as ‘deer running,’ develops fleet runners, particularly in deer- jacking expeditions when the law is pursuing the hunters as swiftly as the hunters are pursuing the deer.
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Judge—A law student who marks his own examination-papers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
