"Arms and laws do not flourish together...." - Quote by Julius Caesar

“Set honor in one eye and death in th' other, and I will look on both indifferently. I love then name of honor more than I fear death.”

“I wished my wife to be not so much as suspected. Common traditional saying: Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.”

“To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms.”

“As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it.”

“Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.”

“If you want good laws, burn those you have and make new ones.”

“We established however some, although not all its [self-government] important principles . The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

“Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years.”
