In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.

Best Quotes about Law and lawyers
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
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.
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
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
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb
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.
He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow.
Proverb, Spanish
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De
It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.
Mille, Cecil B. De
Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
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
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert
I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.
Young, Brigham
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
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.
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
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
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have must to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
Burke, Edmund
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers rich.
Proverb
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying
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
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas
Laws too gentle, are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Franklin, Benjamin
The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.
Hughes, Charles Evans
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Sprecht, Robert D.
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
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
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Darrow, Clarence
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Here lies one believe it if you can, who thought an attorney, was a honest man.
Epitaph
In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Butler, Samuel
Who thinks the law has anything to do with justice? It's what we have because we can't have justice.
Mcilvanney, William
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.
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
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich
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
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 like sausages. It is better not to see them being made.
Bismarck, Otto Von
Lawyers and painters can soon make what's black, white.
Proverb
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.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington
The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counter authority to the law.
Diderot, Denis
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Welles, Orson
