Law Quotes (page 57)

Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Compassion is the chief law of human existence."
Compassion is the chief law of human existence. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case; animals have the right to a merciful death. Milan Kundera
Walter Pater quote: "He...preferred always the more to the less remote, what,..."
He...preferred always the more to the less remote, what, seeming exceptional, was an instance of law more refined... Walter Pater
Life is much richer and more complex than even the most perfect plans to make it better. It ultimately takes vengeance for attempts to impose abstract schemes, even with the best of intentions. Perestroika has made us understand this about our past, and the actual experience of recent years has taught us to reckon with the most general laws of civilization. Mikhail Gorbachev
The power of words is awful, Frida. Sometimes I want to bury my typewriter in a box of quilts. The radio makes everything worse, because of the knack for amplifying dull sounds. Any two words spoken in haste might become law of the land. But you never know which two. You see why I won't talk to newsmen. Barbara Kingsolver
...the question is of will, and not, as the insanity of logic has assumed, of power. It is not that the Deity cannot modify his laws, but that we insult him in imagining a possible necessity for modification. Edgar Allan Poe
In place of the clear and rigid ancient law, You [oh Lord] made man decide about good and evil for himself, with no other guidance than Your example. But did it never occur to You that man would disregard Your example, even question it, as well as Your truth, when he was subjected to so fearful a burden as freedom of choice? Fyodor Dostoevsky
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "And he set to rhyme his ale-measures, And he sang aloud his..."
And he set to rhyme his ale-measures, And he sang aloud his laws, Because of the joy of giants, The joy without a cause. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident...."
Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident. It is as common as life. Henry David Thoreau
You say you are a poet of law; I saw you are a contradiction in terms. I only wonder there were not comets and earthquakes on the night you appeared in this garden Gilbert K. Chesterton
Caesar Flickerman asks if the president has a date in mind. "Oh, before we set a date, we better clear it with Katniss's mother," says the president. The audience gives a big laugh and the president puts his arm around me. "Maybe if the whole country puts its mind to it, we can get you married before you're thirty." "You'll probably have to pass a new law," I say with a giggle. "If that's what it takes," says the president with conspiratorial good humor. Oh, the fun we two have together. Suzanne Collins
Anatole France quote: "The law, in its majestic impartiality, forbids the rich and..."
The law, in its majestic impartiality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under the bridges of Paris. Anatole France
Revelation from God is always compatible with His eternal law. It never contradicts His doctrine. It is facilitated by proper reverence for Deity. The Master gave this instruction:" 'I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end." 'Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory." '. . . To them will I reveal all mysteries [and] my will concerning all things pertaining to my... Russell M. Nelson
I share a warning. Satan is extremely good at blocking spiritual communication by inducing individuals, through temptation, to violate the laws upon which spiritual communication is founded. With some, he is able to convince them that they are not able to receive such guidance from the Lord. Richard G. Scott
Michael Faraday quote: "Within the laws of Nature, nothing is too wonderful to be true."
Within the laws of Nature, nothing is too wonderful to be true. Michael Faraday
