"When war is raging the laws are..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Life is nothing without friendship.”

“In a disturbed mind, as in a body in the same state, health can not exist.”

“As the grace of man is in the mind, so the beauty of the mind is eloquence.”

“The jury passing on the prisoner's life may in the sworn twelve have a thief or two guiltier than him they try.”

“No police officer could compel a satyagrahi to give evidence against a person who has confessed to him. A satyagrahi would never be guilty of a betrayal of trust.”

“How accurately can the law fix the crime? There has to be a mechanism for very fast action. The law is like this: catch them and punish them.”

“The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality.… If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”

“Never stir up litigation, a worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this, who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket?”

“Laws, when good, should be supreme; and that the magistrate or magistrates should regulate those matters only on which the laws are unable to speak with precision owing to the difficulty of any general principle embracing all particulars.”
