Law and lawyers

The business of the law is to make sense of the confusion of what we call human life -- to reduce it to order but at the same time to give it possibility, scope, even dignity.
- Macleish, Archibald

Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
A good lawyer is a bad neighbor.
Proverb, French

2.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

3.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

4.
Bad laws are the worst form of tyranny.
Burke, Edmund

5.
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De

6.
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire

7.
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

8.
Certainly one of the highest duties of the citizen is a scrupulous obedience to the laws of the nation. But it is not the highest duty.
Jefferson, Thomas

9.
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Goldsmith, Oliver

10.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

11.
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

12.
Laws are like sausages. It is better not to see them being made.
Bismarck, Otto Von

13.
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

14.
Whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William

16.
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

17.
Law, without force, is impotent.
Pascal, Blaise

18.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

19.
Courts of law, and all the paraphernalia and folly of law cannot be found in a rational state of society.
Owen, Robert

20.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Some things are easier to legalize than to legitimate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

22.
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

23.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

24.
The jury consist of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
Frost, Robert

25.
Petty laws breed great crimes.
Ouida

26.
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

27.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

28.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Stirner, Max

29.
In a democracy -- even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-?litist one -- the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.
Gordimer, Nadine

30.
Law school taught me one thing; how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Pomerantz, Hart

31.
This is a court of law young man, not a court of justice.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

32.
Laws are felt only when the individual comes into conflict with them.
Lafollette, Suzanne

33.
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

34.
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Sprecht, Robert D.

35.
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Darrow, Clarence

36.
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond

37.
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

38.
It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.
Mille, Cecil B. De

39.
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

40.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

41.
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb

42.
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

43.
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin

44.
Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Becker, Ward

45.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

46.
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.

47.
I think we may class the lawyer in the natural history of monsters.
Keats, John

48.
Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.
Louis XIV

49.
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

50.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.
