In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
Samuel Butler

I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is a law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over-the-top. I put it on eBay.
Sarah Palin

Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane.
John Cusack

You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place.
Vladimir Putin

The law is not thrust upon man; it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
