"'Honour thy father and thy mother' stands written among the three laws of most revered righteousness."	Æschylus
"Water, everywhere over the earth, flows to join together. A single natural law controls it. Each human is a member of a community and should work within it."	I Ching
"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
"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
"Neurotic means he is not as sensible as I am, and psychotic means he's even worse than my brother-in-law."	Dr. Karl Augustus Menninger
"Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed."	Abraham Lincoln
"If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind."	Henry C. Blinn
"Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?"	Dick Clark
"Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks."	Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Litigation: A form of hell whereby money is transferred from the pockets of the proletariat to that of lawyers."	Frank McKinney Hubbard
"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
"I personally think that he did violate the law, that he committed impeachable offenses. But I don't think that he thinks he did."	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
"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
"If you're a boxing referee, it's probably illegal to wear a bow tie that spins or changes colors."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Time is the great legalizer, even in the field of morals."	Henry Louis Mencken
"Where it is duty to worship the sun, it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat."	John Morley
"Look at the Justice Department, it's full of Jews...The lawyers in government are damn Jews."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
