Laws Quotes (page 53)

Being democratic is not enough, to a majority cannot turn what is wrong into right. In order to be considered truly free, countries must also have a deep love of liberty and an abiding respect for the rule of law. Margaret Thatcher
In this nonfundamentalist understanding of faith, practice is more important than theory, love more important than law, and mystery is seen as an insight into truth rather than an obstacle. It is the great lie of our time that all religious faith has to be fundamentalist to be valid. Andrew Sullivan
Marcel Duchamp quote: "Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical..."
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws. Marcel Duchamp
The principle of democracy is a recognition of the sovereign, inalienable rights of man as a gift from God, the Source of law. Fulton J. Sheen
She moved nearer, leaned her shoulder against me? and we were one, and something flowed from her into me, and I knew: this is how it must be. I knew it with every nerve, and every hair, every heartbeat, so sweet it verged on pain. And what joy to submit to this 'must'. A piece of iron must feel such joy as it submits to the precise, inevitable law that draws it to a magnet. Or a stone, thrown up, hesitating a moment, then plunging headlong back to earth.

Almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so. Robert A. Heinlein
A totalitarian society which succeeded in perpetuating itself would probably set us a schizophrenic system of thought, in which the laws of common sense held good in everyday life and in certain exact sciences, but could be disregarded by the politician, the historian, and the sociologist. Already there are countless people who would think it scandalous to falsify a scientific text-book, but would see nothing wrong in falsifying an historical fact. George Orwell
I now understand the need for faith—pure, blind, fly-in-the-face-of-reason faith—as a small life preserver in the wild and endless sea of a universe ruled by unfeeling laws and totally indifferent to the small, reasoning beings that inhabit it. Dan Simmons
Coincidence obeys no laws and if it does we don't know what they are. Coincidence, if you'll permit me the simile, is like the manifestation of God at every moment on our planet. A senseless God making senseless gestures at his senseless creatures. In that hurricane, in that osseous implosion, we find communion. Roberto Bolano
Meg Cabot quote: "Smiles like that should be against the law. Considering what..."
Smiles like that should be against the law. Considering what they do to a girl. Meg Cabot
Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single fact took the scientific world by storm. Douglas Adams
Anton Chekhov quote: "Where is the law that says people should do as they please?"
Where is the law that says people should do as they please? Anton Chekhov
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "A judge at common law may be an ordinary man; a good judge of..."
A judge at common law may be an ordinary man; a good judge of a carpet must be a genius. Edgar Allan Poe
Guy de Maupassant quote: "A lawful kiss is never worth as much as a stolen one."
A lawful kiss is never worth as much as a stolen one. Guy de Maupassant
