“If the law is a bad law, there is always the contingent right to take action that you would not otherwise take.”
Jim Callaghan
“May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.”
Immanuel Kant
“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”
Thomas Jefferson
“There can be no such thing, in law or in morality, as actions forbidden to an individual, but permitted to a mob”
Ayn Rand
“Right thoughts produce right actions and right actions produce work which will be a material reflection for others to see of the serenity at the center of it all”
Robert M. Pirsig
“As we become full persons, our knack for "right actions" and good judgment blossoms”
Marsha Sinetar
“Whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it”
Henry David Thoreau
