GEMS OF THOUGHT
« LAW AND JUSTICE. Law is the embodiment of the moral sentiment of the people. —Blackstone. A law is valuable not because it is law, but because there is right in it.— Henry Ward Beecher. I believe in obeying the laws of the land, I practise and teach this obedience, since justice is the moral signification of law. Injustice denotes the absence of law—Mary Baker Eddy. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organised opinion of mankind,—Woodrow Wilson. Our human laws are but the copies, more or less imperfect, of the eternal laws, so far as we can read them. — James Anthony Froude. There is but one law for all, namely, that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity —the law of nature and of nations.—-Edmund Burke.
