No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Law is nothing other than a certain ordinance of reason for the common good, promulgated by the person who has the care of the community.
There is no law governing all things.
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
To be clear... no one is above the law.
Either the law exists, or it does not.
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.
A law is not a law without coercion behind it.
That which is not just is not law.
The law is not a 'light' for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.
