Hermann Hesse Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down. Paul Newman Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black. Paul Newman The Twist was a guided missile launched from the ghetto into the heart of suburbia. The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books. Eldridge Cleaver When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual. Frank Herbert Decency is the least of all laws, but yet it is the law which is most strictly observed. Francois de La Rochefoucauld The clever, albeit fragile, coalition against terrorism brought together by the U.S. government might be able to advance the transition from classical international law to a cosmopolitan order. Jurgen Habermas What do I care about law? Ain't I got the power? Cornelius Vanderbilt You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you. Cornelius Vanderbilt There is a higher law than the law of government. That's the law of conscience. Stokely Carmichael As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals. Jesse Ventura Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts. Moliere The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counter authority to the law. Denis Diderot A law can be both economic folly and constitutional. Antonin Scalia I will tell you King's First Law of Recognition: You never get it when you want it, and then when it comes, you get too much. Billie Jean King When I began we did not really have a lot of First Amendment law. It is really surprising to think of it this way, but a lot of the law - most of the law that relates to the First Amendment freedom of the press in America - is really within living memory. Floyd Abrams Were this not Texas, were there not a state where there were no protections at all and where the law was clear on that, I think CBS and Mary Mapes and Dan Rather and all of us had a very good chance of winning. So this is an ongoing battle about an issue of principle. Floyd Abrams It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game. Floyd Abrams The question at the end of the day was, the courts having found there was no defense, a producer about to go to jail, should CBS in effect tell the producer go to jail even though there is no law at all that we can use to get you out of jail? Floyd Abrams It is within the last quarter century or thirty years. And a lot of that law has turned out to be very, very protective of the press and the public's right to know. Floyd Abrams |
