Erasmus, Desiderius

Humphrey, Hubert H.

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

Lincoln, Abraham

48.
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.

And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
Lincoln, Abraham

49.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
