Motivational Quotes
Law and lawyers
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.
Best Quotes about Law and lawyers
We eagerly get hold of a law that serves as a weapon to our passions.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Gandhi, Mahatma
The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.
Hughes, Charles Evans
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William
A good lawyer is a bad neighbor.
Proverb, French
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
Where the law is uncertain there is no law.
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.
I have enforced the law against killing certain animals and many others, but the greatest progress of righteousness among men comes from the exhortation in favor of non-injury to life and abstention from killing living beings.
Asoka
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De
He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow.
Proverb, Spanish
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
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
Somebody figured it out -- we have 35 million laws trying to enforce Ten Commandments.
Wilson, Earl
I would be loath to speak ill of any person who I do not know deserves it, but I am afraid he is an attorney.
Johnson, Samuel
Here lies one believe it if you can, who thought an attorney, was a honest man.
Epitaph
Lawyers know life practically. A bookish man should always have them to converse with.
Johnson, Samuel
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb
In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Butler, Samuel
As soon as you begin to say We have always done things this way -- perhaps that might be a better way, conscious law-making is beginning. As soon as you begin to say We do things this way -- they do things that way -- what is to be done about it? men are beginning to feel towards justice, that resides between the endless jar of right and wrong.
Cam, Helen M.
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
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle
Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.
Tocqueville, Alexis De
An incompetent attorney can delay a trial for years or months. A competent attorney can delay one even longer.
Younger, Evelle
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert
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 painters can soon make what's black, white.
Proverb
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.
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
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.
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
Nizer, Louis
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond
A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.
Puzo, Mario
Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.
Mellor, David
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Lincoln, Abraham
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.
In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.
Young, Brigham
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
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
