Law and lawyers

The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counter authority to the law.
- Diderot, Denis
Law and lawyers Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
Petty laws breed great crimes.
Ouida

2.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Stirner, Max

3.
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

4.
Rulers were made to be broken.
Isenberg, Michael

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De

8.
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Halifax, Edward F.

9.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
Frost, Robert

10.
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

11.
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb

12.
Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.
Louis XIV

13.
This is a court of law young man, not a court of justice.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

14.
Lawyers and painters can soon make what's black, white.
Proverb

15.
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

16.
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas

17.
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Chandler, Raymond

18.
Law, without force, is impotent.
Pascal, Blaise

19.
Where the law ends tyranny begins.
Fielding, Henry

20.
I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

21.
An incompetent attorney can delay a trial for years or months. A competent attorney can delay one even longer.
Younger, Evelle

22.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

23.
There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principles of fear or reason, but from passion.
Montesquieu, Charles De

24.
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb

25.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.

26.
Some things are easier to legalize than to legitimate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

27.
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

28.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

29.
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

30.
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

31.
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

32.
Who thinks the law has anything to do with justice? It's what we have because we can't have justice.
Mcilvanney, William

33.
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

34.
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington

35.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

36.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

37.
Laws too gentle, are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Franklin, Benjamin

38.
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De

39.
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

40.
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De

41.
The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.
Crisp, Quentin

42.
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

43.
A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.
Puzo, Mario

44.
A jury too often has at least one member more ready to hang the panel than to hang the traitor.
Lincoln, Abraham

45.
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

46.
It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

47.
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

48.
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

49.
I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.

50.
The laws and the stage, both are a form of exhibitionism.
Welles, Orson
