Law and lawyers Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
Lawyers know life practically. A bookish man should always have them to converse with.
Johnson, Samuel

2.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

3.
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De

4.
Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.
Mellor, David

5.
Judges ought to be more learned than witty, more reverent than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things, integrity is their portion and proper virtue.
Bacon, Francis

6.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

7.
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Gandhi, Mahatma

8.
Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law cannot be found in a rational state of society.
Owen, Robert

9.
The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb

11.
Where the law ends tyranny begins.
Fielding, Henry

12.
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas

13.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb

15.
No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my own constitution; the only wrong what is against it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Stirner, Max

17.
There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principles of fear or reason, but from passion.
Montesquieu, Charles De

18.
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Welles, Orson

19.
The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better. Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.
Havel, Vaclav

20.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

21.
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William

22.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

23.
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison

24.
Keep out of Chancery. It's being ground to bits in a slow mill; it's being roasted at a slow fire; it's being stung to death by single bees; it's being drowned by drops; it's going mad by grains.
Dickens, Charles

25.
Laws too gentle, are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Franklin, Benjamin

26.
Petty laws breed great crimes.
Ouida

27.
The jury consist of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
Frost, Robert

28.
In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

29.
No civilization would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.
Arendt, Hannah

30.
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.

32.
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire

33.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich

34.
Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

35.
Laws are felt only when the individual comes into conflict with them.
Lafollette, Suzanne

36.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

37.
Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

38.
I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis on the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement.
Coolidge, Calvin

39.
The best laws cannot make a constitution work in spite of morals; morals can turn the worst laws to advantage. That is a commonplace truth, but one to which my studies are always bringing me back. It is the central point in my conception. I see it at the end of all my reflections.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

40.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De

41.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas

42.
The only laws of matter are those that our minds must fabricate and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter.
Maxwell, James Clerk

43.
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed.
Ostman, Virginia

44.
Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
Lincoln, Abraham

45.
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.
King Jr. Martin Luther

46.
Bad laws are the worst form of tyranny.
Burke, Edmund

47.
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De

48.
The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
Brecht, Bertolt

49.
The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
Macklin, Charles

50.
Some things are easier to legalize than to legitimate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
