Civil law, as well as nature herself, has always recognized a wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and woman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The very idea of law originates in men's natural rights. There is no other standard, than natural rights, by which civil law can be measured. Law has always been the name of that rule or principle of justice, which protects those rights. Thus we speak of natural law.
Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.
Nature never breaks her own laws.
For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations.
Every man, when he comes to be sensible of his natural rights, and to feel his own importance, will consider himself as fully equal to any other person whatever.
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
Rule of law is the most important element in any civil society.
Civility is perhaps a quaint notion but civility in Parliament is something we should always strive to uphold.
The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved.
When did one man ever civilize a people?
