Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
I would be loath to speak ill of any person who I do not know deserves it, but I am afraid he is an attorney.
Johnson, Samuel

2.
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

3.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

4.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

5.
All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away. This is the pure unchangeable law.
Sutrakritanga

6.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich

7.
Laws are felt only when the individual comes into conflict with them.
Lafollette, Suzanne

8.
The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
Trapp, June L.

9.
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

10.
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire

11.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

12.
Law, without force, is impotent.
Pascal, Blaise

13.
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying

14.
Certainly one of the highest duties of the citizen is a scrupulous obedience to the laws of the nation. But it is not the highest duty.
Jefferson, Thomas

15.
This is a court of law young man, not a court of justice.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

16.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas

17.
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

18.
We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong. And they can provide a basis for rooting out the evils of bigotry and racism. But they cannot wipe away centuries of oppression and injustice -- however much we might desire it.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

19.
In a democracy -- even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-?litist one -- the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.
Gordimer, Nadine

20.
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Gandhi, Mahatma

21.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

22.
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.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
Lawyers know life practically. A bookish man should always have them to converse with.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb

25.
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond

26.
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.
Chandler, Raymond

27.
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

28.
We may not all break the Ten Commandments, but we are certainly all capable of it. Within us lurks the breaker of all laws, ready to spring out at the first real opportunity.
Duncan, Isadora

29.
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

30.
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

31.
It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law, but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.
Roosevelt, Theodore

32.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

33.
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington

34.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

35.
In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Butler, Samuel

36.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

37.
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

38.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

39.
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

40.
Laws too gentle, are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Franklin, Benjamin

41.
Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.
Mellor, David

42.
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De

43.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

45.
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

46.
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

47.
Law school taught me one thing; how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Pomerantz, Hart

48.
Curse on all laws, but those that love has made.
Pope, Alexander

49.
I think we may class the lawyer in the natural history of monsters.
Keats, John

50.
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin
