“Good men must not obey the laws too well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure”
Thomas Jefferson
“The law will never make men free, it is men that have to make the law free.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.”
Adlai E. Stevenson
“People must help one another; it is nature's law.”
Jean de La Fontaine
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”
James Madison
“Law never made men a whit more just.”
