- Bacon, Francis

And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
Lincoln, Abraham

30.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De

Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Jones, Franklin P.

32.
The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
Jones, Sir William

33.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.

Engels, Friedrich

35.

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