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

16.
We eagerly get hold of a law that serves as a weapon to our passions.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

29.
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
Saurin, Bernard Joseph

30.
We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong.

Humphrey, Hubert H.

31.
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Cicero, Marcus T.

32.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich

33.
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

34.
The severity of the laws prevents their execution.
Montesquieu, Charles De

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

Moore, Thomas

38.
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

40.
A lawyers dream of heaven; every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.

Dickens, Charles

45.
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.

Cam, Helen M.
