Best Quotes about Law and lawyers
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
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison
The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.
Hughes, Charles Evans
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Darrow, Clarence
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
Crisp, Quentin
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
Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.
Anacharsis
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.
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
Where the law is uncertain there is no law.
Proverb
Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.
Sade, Marquis De
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.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas
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
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
Saurin, Bernard Joseph
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb
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
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
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Sprecht, Robert D.
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
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas
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
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers rich.
Proverb
No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.
Goldman, Emma
Laws are felt only when the individual comes into conflict with them.
Lafollette, Suzanne
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De
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
Our demands are simple, normal, and therefore they are difficult to satisfy. All we ask is that an actor on the stage live in accordance with natural laws
Stanislavisky, Konstantin
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.
It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.
Mille, Cecil B. De
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.
Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Law, without force, is impotent.
Pascal, Blaise
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.
Thoreau, Henry David
Curse on all laws, but those that love has made.
Pope, Alexander
