Best Quotes about Law and lawyers
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
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
Nizer, Louis
Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.
Mizner, Addison
It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas
Our demands are simple, normal, and therefore they are difficult to satisfy. All we ask is that an actor on the stage live in accordance with natural laws
Stanislavisky, Konstantin
Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.
Mellor, David
Here lies one believe it if you can, who thought an attorney, was a honest man.
Epitaph
Young lawyers attend the courts, not because they have business there, but because they have no business.
Irving, Washington
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Law and equity are two things which God has joined, but which man has put asunder.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
Law school taught me one thing; how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Pomerantz, Hart
Where the law is uncertain there is no law.
Proverb
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
The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
Trapp, June L.
We eagerly get hold of a law that serves as a weapon to our passions.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Who thinks the law has anything to do with justice? It's what we have because we can't have justice.
Mcilvanney, William
I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their strict execution.
Grant, Ulysses S.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
An incompetent attorney can delay a trial for years or months. A competent attorney can delay one even longer.
Younger, Evelle
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Halifax, Edward F.
Where the law ends tyranny begins.
Fielding, Henry
Laws are not invented. They grow out of circumstances.
Azarias
Law cannot persuade when it cannot punish.
Saying
Some things are easier to legalize than to legitimate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Darrow, Clarence
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
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
Saurin, Bernard Joseph
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.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich
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
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The
I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.
Moore, Thomas
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Goldsmith, Oliver
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
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
Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.
Tocqueville, Alexis De
Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.
Proverb
I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one.
Voltaire
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
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.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William
This is a court of law young man, not a court of justice.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
Lawyers -- a profession it is to disguise matters.
More, Thomas
