Violate Quotations
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. Thomas Jefferson It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them. T. S. Eliot The whole order of things is as outrageous as any miracle which could presume to violate it. Gilbert K. Chesterton We can constitutionally extirpate slavery at this time. But if we fail to do this, then unless we intend hereafter to violate the Constitution, we shall have a fugitive slave law in operation whenever the war is over. Robert D.
