gptkbp:famous_quote
|
" The laws should be like death, which spares no one."
" To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them."
" In the state of nature, all men are equal."
" The law is the expression of the general will."
" Liberty is the right to do what the laws permit."
" The spirit of the laws" is a work that examines the relationship between laws and social structures.
" A nation may lose its liberties in a day and not miss them in a century."
" The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy."
" It is not the law that is the problem, but the interpretation of the law."
" There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice."
