What power has law where only money rules.

The law must be stable, but it must not stand still.

Let us consider the reason of the case. For nothing is law that is not reason.

Ignorance of the law excuses no man: Not that all men know the law, but because 'tis an excuse every man will plead, and no man can tell how to refute him.

It is found by experience that admirable laws and right precedents among the good have their origin in the misdeeds of others.

It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.

A law is something which must have a moral basis, so that there is an inner compelling force for every citizen to obey.

Justice requires that to lawfully constituted Authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due; that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good; and that, as a matter of conscience all men shall render obedience to these laws.
