We want laws to be applied predictably.

What is crucial is there be laws.

If we aim to act in harmony with the laws of Good, we rise above all other laws and become a law unto ourselves; co-workers with God and helpers in nature. Ours is the privilege, ours the loss, if we fail to live up to our highest possibilities.

We must bring the rule of law to its full fruition in the United States, and when we do, we will have achieved the goals and rhetoric of our Founding Fathers.

We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.

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

At the moment we have a ruling class that has one law and the people the other.

Laws are subordinate to custom.

You can't say 'because we decide we're different then we need a different set of laws.'

In every human society, there is an effort continually tending to confer on one part the height of power and happiness, and to reduce the other to the extreme of weakness and misery. The intent of good laws is to oppose this effort and to diffuse their influence universally and equally.
