Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.
Mark TwainDon’t think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.
Dwight D. EisenhowerFrom childhood on, I did sit in the courtroom watching my father argue cases and talk to juries.
Harper LeeTaste cannot be controlled by law.
Thomas JeffersonIt will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James MadisonIn most communities it is illegal to cry ‚fire‘ in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?
Dwight D. EisenhowerThe penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.
Christopher HitchensThe most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
E. E. CummingsIs everything funny? For me, yes. There’s a positive to every negative. Even my divorce? For me, yes. If you go back and look at it, why it happened or how it happened, there’s something in there that’ll make you laugh.
Kevin HartWhen the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.
Adam SandlerI have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
AristotleI won’t do something unless I can get at least two or three good laughs out of it. If I can’t, it’s not gonna make the team.
Jerry SeinfeldKeep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Khalil GibranIt’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.
Virginia WoolfBelieve it or not, I make myself laugh. Sometimes when I have thoughts or say some things that are funny, it just makes me laugh, and I don’t mind laughing at it before you guys do.
Kevin HartGood planning is important. I’ve also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you’re in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you’re depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension.
Edmund HillaryThere is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.
Erma BombeckIf the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.
Henry David ThoreauI submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.
Henry David ThoreauBut the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
Carl SaganWashington still refuses to provide evidence to support the claims in 1990 that a huge Iraqi military build-up on the Saudi border justified war.
Noam ChomskyThe best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.
Madeleine AlbrightThe roaring thunder of the law and the fear of the terror of judgment are both used to bring us to Christ, but the final victory culminating in our salvation is won through God’s loving-kindness.
Charles SpurgeonIt was an act of patriotism when we worked to pass a law allowing the prosecution of federal hate crimes in the name of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd.
Kamala HarrisIn law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.
Immanuel KantLaw is mind without reason.
AristotleYou make ‚em, I amuse ‚em.
Dr. SeussThe beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
Virginia WoolfI am well aware that there are prisoners of conscience in the Soviet Union, including some who have said they have chosen to resist the law because of religious reasons.
Billy GrahamIt is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
Wayne DyerTrue humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
Thomas CarlyleThe bells will ring and the marriages will begin. And it’s a great day in our state for equal protection under the law for all people.
Kamala HarrisHumor is mankind’s greatest blessing.
Mark TwainLaw is always better than war.
Brian EnoObedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
Theodore RooseveltHow 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.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
Groucho MarxI have to be seen to be believed.
Queen Elizabeth IIThe worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law.
Herbert HooverRightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‚within the limits of the law‘ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
Thomas JeffersonThe worst times were the years I was alone. The image to the public entering the courtroom was eight men, of a certain size, and then this little woman sitting to the side. That was not a good image for the public to see.
Ruth Bader GinsburgLaughter is America’s most important export.
Walt DisneyRevenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
Francis BaconA day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie ChaplinIf you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston ChurchillIf you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?
Steven WrightWhen the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.
Richard M. NixonThe devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
Albert EinsteinGive a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.
Nelson MandelaAll credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.
Friedrich NietzscheIf I couldn’t laugh I just would go insane, If we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane, If we weren’t all crazy we would go insane.
Jimmy BuffettTalent grips us. We are overtaken by the beauty of Michelangelo’s sculpture, riveted by Mariah Carey’s angelic voice, doubled over in laughter by the comedy of Robin Williams, and captivated by the on screen performances of Denzel Washington.
John C. MaxwellLet us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality under the law, basic respect for public order, and the right of peaceful protest.
Barack ObamaLawless are they that make their wills their law.
William ShakespeareThere is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity – the law of nature and of nations.
Edmund BurkeThe progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.
Henry AdamsThere is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
Mahatma GandhiIt is a fundamental principle of criminal law that an imputed offense must correspond exactly to the type of crime described by law. If no law applies exactly to the point in question, then there is no offense.
Fidel CastroThe child in you, like all children, loves to laugh, to be around people who can laugh at themselves and life. Children instinctively know that the more laughter we have in our lives, the better.
Wayne Dyer
