"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."	Albert Einstein
"From this day forward, the millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty." (On signing law for inclusion of the words 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14 Jun 54)"	Dwight David Eisenhower
"I could have spoken from Rhode Island where I have been staying ... But I felt that, in speaking from the house of Lincoln, of Jackson, and of Wilson, my words would better convey both the sadness I feel in the action I was compelled today to make and the firmness with which I intend to pursue this course until the orders of the federal court at Little Rock can be executed without unlawful interference." (On sending troops to enforce integration in Little Rock AR High School)"	Dwight David Eisenhower
"I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else-I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations."	Elizabeth II
"Our constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men."	Gerald R. Ford
"The Law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich, as well as the poor, to sleep under the bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."	Anatole France
"The age of Grace began in mid-Acts, after the conversion of the Apostle Paul. It is through his letters alone that we learn about the dispensation of Grace, about Israel being set aside, with Jew and Gentile being saved into the Body of Christ. It was Paul who taught 'all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses' (Acts 21:21). It was also Paul who proclaimed the forgiveness of sins 'to all who would believe' in Christ, adding that 'ye could not be justified by the law of Moses' (Acts 13:38-39). The measuring rod of grace tells us that the age of Grace began with Paul, then continued through those who were saved and subsequently carried on His God-given doctrines of grace."	John Fredericksen
"A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer."	Robert Lee Frost
"The laws of probability, so true in general, so fallacious in particular."	Edward Gibbon
"Oh, heart, I the ignorant say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower perishes, but the seeds remain. This is the law of God."	Kahlil Gibran
"The bird has an honor that man does not have. Man lives in the traps of his abdicated laws and traditions; but the birds live according to the natural law of God who causes the earth to turn around the sun."	Kahlil Gibran
"To live as one likes is plebian; the noble man aspires to order and law."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because you articles are rejected. It may be that the editor has his drawer full, or that he does not know enough to appreciate you, or you have not gained a reputation, or he is not in a mood to be pleased. A critic's judgment is like that of any intelligent person. If he has experience, he is capable of judging whether a book will sell. That is all."	Lavina Goodell
"There is a difference between Moses and Paul. Moses was the great Law-giver to the nation of Israel, while Paul is the great dispenser of Grace to the Church, the Body of Christ."	Henry Grube
"I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it..."	Learned Hand
"If you're a boxing referee, it's probably illegal to wear a bow tie that spins or changes colors."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"If you want to be the popular one at a party, here's a good thing to do: Go up to some people who are talking and laughing and say, 'Well, technically that's illegal.' It might fit in with what somebody just said. And even if it doesn't, so what, I hate this stupid party."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Cultivate your curiosity. Keep it sharp and always working. Consider curiosity your life preserver, your willingness to try something new. Second, enlarge your enthusiasm to include the pursuit to excellence, following every task through to completion. Third, make the law of averages work for you. By budgeting your time more carefully than most people you can make more time available. Does the combination of curiosity, enthusiasm, and the law of averages guarantee success? Indeed it does not! ... Success in the final analysis always involves luck or the element of chance. Louis Pasteur grasped this well when he said that chance favors the prepared mind."	John W. Hanley
