Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.

Aristotle

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

Plato

Climate change joined immigration, job creation, food safety, pilot training, veterans' care, campaign finance, transportation security, labor law, mine safety, wildfire management, and scores of executive and judicial appointments on the list of matters that the world's greatest deliberative body is incapable of addressing.

George Packer

In almost every profession — whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business — people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.

Aristotle

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Thomas Jefferson

What law, what reason can deny that gift so sweet, so natural that God has given a stream, a fish, a beast, a bird?

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The spine of the FBI is the rule of law. The spine of the FBI is a commitment to doing the right thing, in the right way, while protecting civil liberties.

James Comey

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.

Thomas Aquinas

1

In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.

Immanuel Kant

1

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Donald Trump

1

We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.

Donald Trump

The safety of the people shall be the highest law.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

1

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.

John Locke
