In the first place I remark that no human law is perfect in its construction or execution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All human laws are, properly speaking, only declaratory; they have no power over the substance of original justice.
In civilized life, law floats in a sea of ethics.
No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God.
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.
I have also seen it stated that Capital punishment is murder in its worst form. I should like to know upon what principle of human society these assertions are based and justified.
No, I think that we've got a basic discrepancy here between the rule of law versus the rule of man.
Law is mind without reason.
The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past, the present, and the future, that we bear within us; whoever possesses but one of these terms, has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.
There is respect for law, and then there is complicity in lawlessness.
Either the law exists, or it does not.
