Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Who to himself is law, no law doth need, offends no law, and is a king indeed.
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.
Those who challenge the law in one or another of its aspects weaken the whole legal structure of society. For one man to disobey a law he does not like is to invite others to disobey another law which he may regard as indispensable to his own livelihood - or life.
If man asks for many laws it is only because he is sure that his neighbor needs them; privately he is an unphilosophical anarchist, and thinks laws in his own case superfluous.
No man's error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him to persist in it.
The poor man looks upon the law as an enemy, not as a friend. For him, the law is always taking something away.
He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
Good men must not obey the laws too well.
Law cannot stand aside from the social changes around it.
A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.
