Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

1.
Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.
La Bruyere, Jean De

2.
Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.
Montesquieu, Charles De

3.
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Cicero, Marcus T.

4.
No civilization would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.
Arendt, Hannah

5.
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

6.
Fish die when they are out of water, and people die without law and order.
Talmud, The

7.
I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis on the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement.
Coolidge, Calvin

8.
Some things are easier to legalize than to legitimate.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

9.
The first thing we do, lets kill the lawyers. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William

10.
The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
Trapp, June L.

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow.
Proverb, Spanish

15.
I want to live perfectly above the law, and make it my servant instead of my master.
Young, Brigham

16.
God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.
Franklin, Benjamin

17.
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
A lawyer is a gentlemen that rescues your estate from your enemies and then keeps it to himself.
Brougham, Lord Henry P.

21.
Laws are not invented. They grow out of circumstances.
Azarias

22.
It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law, but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.
Roosevelt, Theodore

23.
Amongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.
Erasmus, Desiderius

24.
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

25.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
Cervantes, Miguel De

26.
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

27.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

28.
The more corrupt the state, the more laws.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

29.
This is a court of law young man, not a court of justice.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

30.
Where the law is uncertain there is no law.
Proverb

31.
Curse on all laws, but those that love has made.
Pope, Alexander

32.
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

33.
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

34.
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Gandhi, Mahatma

35.
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
Capote, Truman

37.
In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

38.
Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
Sprecht, Robert D.

39.
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

40.
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.
Stanton, Elizabeth Cady

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

42.
All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people.
Mill, John Stuart

43.
The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.
Hughes, Charles Evans

44.
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

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

46.
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.

47.
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

48.
Laws are felt only when the individual comes into conflict with them.
Lafollette, Suzanne

49.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

50.
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
