Best Quotes about Law and lawyers

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
Brecht, Bertolt

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

3.
He who goes to law for a sheep loses his cow.
Proverb, Spanish

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

5.
Lawyers know life practically. A bookish man should always have them to converse with.
Johnson, Samuel

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

7.
We enact many laws that manufacture criminals, and then a few that punish them
Tucker, Benjamin Ricketson

Chandler, Raymond

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

13.
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.

14.
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
Gladstone, William E.

15.
Our human laws are more or less imperfect copies of the external laws as we see them.
Froude, James A.

16.
The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.
La Bruyere, Jean De

17.
Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.
King Jr. Martin Luther

18.
The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket: and the glorious uncertainty of it is of more use to the professors than the justice of it.
Macklin, Charles

19.
Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.
Montesquieu, Charles De

20.
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes.
Kennedy, Robert F.

Hughes, Charles Evans

22.
A judge is a law student who grades his own papers.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
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

24.
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Beecher, Henry Ward

25.
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

Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Becker, Ward

30.
Here lies one believe it if you can, who thought an attorney, was a honest man.
Epitaph

31.
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.

32.
The law is reason, free from passion.
Aristotle

33.
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Goldsmith, Oliver

34.
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

35.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
Engels, Friedrich

36.
The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.
Montesquieu, Charles De

37.
Petty laws breed great crimes.
Ouida

38.
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

39.
The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.
Proverb

40.
Laws are not invented. They grow out of circumstances.
Azarias

41.

48.
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

49.
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

50.
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Halifax, Edward F.
