LEGAL QUOTES

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

"Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind."  -- Sir Francis Bacon

"There is no reason to accept the doctrines crafted to sustain power and privilege, or to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws. These are simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will and that must face the test of legitimacy. And if they do not meet the test, they can be replaced by other institutions that are more free and more just, as has happened often in the past."  -- Noam Chomsky

"In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools."  -- Doris Lessing

"A country is considered the more civilized the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak or a powerful one too powerful."  -- Primo Levi

 

"Pity is the virture of the law, and none but tyrants use it cruelly."  -- William Shakespeare
