It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.

Ethics are more important than laws.

Law and justice are not always the same.

The rules of evidence in the main are based on experience, logic, and common sense, less hampered by history than some parts of the substantive law.

Moral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.

The rule of law should be upheld by all political parties. They should neither advise others to break the law, nor encourage others to do so even when they strongly disagree with the legislation put forward by the government of the day.

A great many people in this country are worried about law-and-order. And a great many people are worried about justice. But one thing is certain; you cannot have either until you have both.

We cannot uphold the rule of law only when it is consistent with our beliefs. We must uphold it even when it protects behavior that we don't like or is unattractive or is not admirable or that might even be hurtful.

Rule of law is the most important element in any civil society.

Nothing can conduce more to the order and stability of a government than the simplicity of the laws, the proper definition of rights, and their impartial and consistent administration.
