“The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.”
Jimmy Carter
“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
“The function of the law is not to provide justice or to preserve freedom. The function of the law is to keep those who hold power, in power.”
Gerry Spence
“People must help one another; it is nature's law.”
Jean de La Fontaine
“Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.”
Adlai E. Stevenson
“This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
“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
