Law and lawyers

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

Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.

2.
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

3.
Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.
Montesquieu, Charles De

4.
Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The

5.
Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Becker, Ward

6.
The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.
Syrus, Publilius

7.
Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.
Louis XIV

8.
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

9.
Laws are like sausages. It is better not to see them being made.
Bismarck, Otto Von

10.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

11.
Law school taught me one thing; how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Pomerantz, Hart

12.
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

13.
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
Saurin, Bernard Joseph

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
Capote, Truman

17.
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Sprecht, Robert D.

18.
A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.
Puzo, Mario

19.
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

20.
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire

21.
Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

22.
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

23.
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

24.
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De

25.
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Lincoln, Abraham

26.
Who thinks the law has anything to do with justice? It's what we have because we can't have justice.
Mcilvanney, William

27.
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying

28.
In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counter authority to the law.
Diderot, Denis

30.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De

31.
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

32.
Somebody figured it out -- we have 35 million laws trying to enforce Ten Commandments.
Wilson, Earl

33.
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin

34.
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

38.
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

39.
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington

40.
An incompetent attorney can delay a trial for years or months. A competent attorney can delay one even longer.
Younger, Evelle

41.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

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

Goldman, Emma

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

46.
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.
