For this new-married man approaching here, Whose salt imagination yet hath wrong'd. Your well defended honour, you must pardon.

Thereon dependent, for your brother's life,--The very mercy of the law cries out.

William Shakespeare
(The law) is like a single-bed blanket on a double bed and three folks in the bed and a cold night.

The law is always too short and too tight for growing humankind.
Robert Penn Warren
