- Mcilvanney, William
Law and lawyers Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
Crisp, Quentin

2.
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William

3.
Laws are not invented. They grow out of circumstances.
Azarias

4.
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin

5.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

6.
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Goldsmith, Oliver

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Halifax, Edward F.

11.
Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

12.
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
Gladstone, William E.

13.
Petty laws breed great crimes.
Ouida

14.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

15.
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

16.
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

17.
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington

19.
Law, without force, is impotent.
Pascal, Blaise

20.
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De

21.
Where the law ends tyranny begins.
Fielding, Henry

22.
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb

23.
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

24.
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
Nizer, Louis

25.
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

26.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

27.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
Trapp, June L.

29.
I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.
Young, Brigham

30.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

31.
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

32.
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Gandhi, Mahatma

33.
A good lawyer is a bad neighbor.
Proverb, French

34.
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

35.
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers rich.
Proverb

36.
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

37.
Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Becker, Ward

38.
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

39.
Lawyers and painters can soon make what's black, white.
Proverb

40.
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

41.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich

42.
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

43.
A judge is a law student who grades his own papers.
Mencken, H. L.

44.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

45.
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

46.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
Rulers were made to be broken.
Isenberg, Michael

50.
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
