We want laws to be applied predictably.
We know that we cannot live together without rules which tell us what is right and what is wrong, what is permitted and what is prohibited. We know that it is law which enables men to live together, that creates order out of chaos. We know that law is the glue that holds civilization together.

We'll always be fascinated by people who live above the law.
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.
What is crucial is there be laws.
If you desire information on some point of law, you are not likely to ponder over the ponderous tomes of legal writers in order to obtain the knowledge you seek, by your own unaided efforts.
We are a government of laws. Any laws some government hack can find to louse up a man who's down.
The law of property determines who owns something, but the market determines how it will be used.
Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.
