God is the King. In him exists all legal authority.

The intelligent ruler makes the law select men and makes no arbitrary appointment himself; he makes the law measure merits and makes no arbitrary judgment himself.

The sovereign is called a tyrant who knows no laws but his caprice.

A law is a law, and it has to be respected.

A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law.

The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.

This magistrate is not the king. The people are the king.

There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.

There is respect for law, and then there is complicity in lawlessness.
