“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The rule which forbids ending a sentence with a preposition is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put.”
Winston Churchill

Potter Stewart
“He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it”
Seneca
“The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become”
Mark Twain
