"Law stands mute in the midst of..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.”

“An ancient custom obtains force of nature.”

“It is difficult to tell how much men's minds are conciliated by a kind manner and gentle speech.”

“The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science that smiles in your face while it picks your pocket.”

“People who know nothing about advertising, nothing about pharmaceuticals, and nothing about economics have been loudly proclaiming that the drug companies spend too much on advertising - and demanding that the government pass laws based on their ignorance.”

“Legislative enactments proceed from men carrying their views a long time back; while judicial decisions are made off hand.”

“When the true criminals are running around free, the only honorable place for a decent human being is in prisons.”

“Honesty will be found on every experiment, to be the best and only true policy; let us then as a Nation be just.”

“Laws are inoperative in war”
