Law and lawyers Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

2.
Laws are not invented. They grow out of circumstances.
Azarias

3.
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De

4.
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William

5.
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

6.
No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.
Goldman, Emma

7.
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb

8.
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

9.
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

10.
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
Nizer, Louis

11.
Laws too gentle, are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Franklin, Benjamin

12.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

13.
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

14.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

15.
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

16.
The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.
Syrus, Publilius

17.
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
Crisp, Quentin

18.
Law school taught me one thing; how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Pomerantz, Hart

19.
Bad laws are the worst form of tyranny.
Burke, Edmund

20.
Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.
Sade, Marquis De

21.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

22.
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De

23.
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

24.
Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Becker, Ward

25.
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

26.
A judge is a law student who grades his own papers.
Mencken, H. L.

27.
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.

28.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

29.
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

30.
Laws are like sausages. It is better not to see them being made.
Bismarck, Otto Von

31.
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

32.
Lawyers and painters can soon make what's black, white.
Proverb

33.
An incompetent attorney can delay a trial for years or months. A competent attorney can delay one even longer.
Younger, Evelle

34.
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

35.
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.
Thoreau, Henry David

36.
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

37.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

38.
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.

39.
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.

40.
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

41.
Here lies one believe it if you can, who thought an attorney, was a honest man.
Epitaph

42.
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

43.
In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Butler, Samuel

44.
I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.

45.
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas

46.
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

47.
Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.
Montesquieu, Charles De

48.
When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.
Eliot, George

49.
It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.
Mille, Cecil B. De

50.
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
