Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

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

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

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

No civilization would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change.

Arendt, Hannah

Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.
Montesquieu, Charles De

In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.

Proverb, French

Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The

19.
A lawyers dream of heaven; every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.
Butler, Samuel

20.
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Welles, Orson

21.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying

23.
When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.
Eliot, George

24.
Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law cannot be found in a rational state of society.
Owen, Robert

25.
A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.
Lippmann, Walter

26.
I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

27.
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

28.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

29.
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

30.
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas

34.
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

35.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

36.
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

37.
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.
Thoreau, Henry David

38.
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison

39.
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

40.
Laws are like sausages. It is better not to see them being made.
Bismarck, Otto Von

Capote, Truman

44.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas

45.
Laws and customs may be creative of vice; and should be therefore perpetually under process of observation and correction: but laws and customs cannot be creative of virtue: they may encourage and help to preserve it; but they cannot originate it.
Martineau, Harriet

46.
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond

47.
I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.
Young, Brigham

48.
Amongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.
Erasmus, Desiderius

49.
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Cicero, Marcus T.

50.
In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
