A law is valuable not because it is law, but because there is right in it.

Any law that takes hold of a man's daily life cannot prevail in a community, unless the vast majority of the community are actively in favor of it. The laws that are the most operative are the laws which protect life.

Law represents the effort of man to organize society; governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty.

It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.

The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
