“The law isn't justice. It's a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.”
Raymond Chandler
“In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.”
Immanuel Kant
“Laws control the lesser man... Right conduct controls the greater one.”
Mark Twain
“The more laws, the less justice.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Law in origin was merely a codification of the power of dominant groups, and did not aim at anything that to a modern man would appear to be justice”
Bertrand Russell
“Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.”
Adlai E. Stevenson
