Law and lawyers

Those laws, being forged for universal application, are in perpetual conflict with personal interest, just as personal interest is always in contradiction with the general interest. Good for society, our laws are very bad for the individuals whereof it is composed; for, if they one time protect the individual, they hinder, trouble, fetter him for three quarters of his life.
- Sade, Marquis De

Mille, Cecil B. De

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

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

I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.

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

He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow.
Proverb, Spanish

Anacharsis

8.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.

9.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

10.
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

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

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

The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Welles, Orson

18.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

19.
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.

20.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

21.
I said there was a society of men among us, bred up from their youth in the art of proving by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white, according as they are paid. To this society all the rest of the people are as slaves.
Swift, Jonathan

22.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De

23.
Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.
Mellor, David

24.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

25.
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

26.
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.

27.
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers rich.
Proverb

28.
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

29.
In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Butler, Samuel

30.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas

31.
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

32.
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb

33.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Stirner, Max

34.
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison

35.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people.

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

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

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

49.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

50.
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
