Laws control the lesser man... Right conduct controls the greater one.

To see how Christ was prophesied and described therein, consider and mark, how that the kid or lamb must be with out spot or blemish; and so was Christ only of all mankind, in the sight of God and of his law.

In the old covenants the people were sprinkled with blood of calves without, in their bodies, to bind them to keep the law; else we were bound to just damnation, for the breaking of it.
William Tyndale, English Clergyman
The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.
Lao Tzu, Philosopher
Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.
Mark Udall, American Politician (1950-  )
Well, I probably, I guess first became aware of the whole, what I call the nuclear complex or weapons work those kinds of things, right out of law school.

Marquis De Vauvenargues, -
In point of substantial merit the law school belongs in the modern university no more than a school of fencing or dancing.
Thorstein Veblen, American Economist (1857-1929)
There's lots of stuff about me being a fan of Cliff but not being gay. Which suggests that he is, but he's not. Anyway, this is Channel 4, let their lawyers sort it out.
Johnny Vegas, British Comedian (1971-  )
There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege.
Jesse Ventura, American Politician (1952-  )
As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals.
Jesse Ventura, American Politician (1952-  )
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.
Jules Verne, French Author (1828-1905)
Let me be clear - no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions.

Nature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da Vinci, Italian Artist (1452-1519)
We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies - it is the first law of nature.
Voltaire, French Writer (1694-1778)
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
Voltaire, French Writer (1694-1778)
