I have explained the phenomena of the heavens and of our sea by the force of gravity, but I have not yet assigned a cause to gravity.
Isaac NewtonI have no doubt but that the misery of the lower classes will be found to abate whenever the Government assumes a freer aspect and the laws favor a subdivision of Property.
James MadisonLaws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.
George WashingtonNo idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered with a searching but at the same time a steady eye.
Winston ChurchillLike Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.
Alexander PopeThe word of man is the most durable of all material.
Arthur SchopenhauerGood breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
Mark TwainYou never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.
Harper LeeLaws, like houses, lean on one another.
Edmund BurkeI wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract.
Groucho MarxGood people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
PlatoI think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.
Franklin D. RooseveltIn time of war the laws are silent.
Marcus Tullius CiceroYou can’t blame gravity for falling in love.
Albert EinsteinIn each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
Blaise PascalTyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them.
VoltaireWith the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics.
Richard P. FeynmanEach piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.
Richard P. FeynmanThe magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIf you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.
Stephen HawkingEveryone assumes I practise all of my own laws but I don’t. I think anybody who did would be a horrible ugly person to be around.
Robert GreeneTo practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.
ConfuciusI’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance.
David BowieImmigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them.
Thomas SowellI hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Thomas JeffersonAll an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.
Lou HoltzDo everything as in the eye of another.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaOne of the peculiarities of Delhi is that the term ‚reform‘ is associated only with passing of laws in Parliament. In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various level of the government, in work practices and procedures.
Narendra ModiI take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They’ve got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I’ve got to be conscious of that.
Mr. TLet every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William ShakespeareI was probably the first footballer ever to have a pop-star profile, and my agent was right when he said we could put my name on stair rods and sell them to people in bungalows.
George BestThough force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
Dwight D. EisenhowerThe same thing is to be understood of all bodies, revolved in any orbits. They all endeavour to recede from the centres of their orbits, and were it not for the opposition of a contrary force which restrains them to and detains them in their orbits, which I therefore call Centripetal, would fly off in right lines with a uniform motion.
Isaac NewtonOnce music ceases to be ephemeral – always disappearing – and becomes instead material… it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time.
Brian EnoAll the evidence, experimental and even a little theoretical, seems to indicate that it is the energy content which is involved in gravitation, and therefore, since matter and antimatter both represent positive energies, gravitation makes no distinction.
Richard P. FeynmanDon’t throw stones at your neighbors if your own windows are glass.
Benjamin FranklinLaws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Marcus Tullius CiceroNo book includes the entire world. It’s limited. And so it doesn’t seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There’s so much other material to write about.
Paul AusterLaws are silent in time of war.
Marcus Tullius CiceroEvery actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don’t want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we’re too religious, we won’t be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce MeyerThe U.S. automotive industry has been selling cars the same way for over 100 years, and there are many laws in place to govern exactly how that is to be accomplished.
Elon MuskJust as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
Isaac NewtonGood breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Thomas CarlyleFor me it came from the material. It was so well written and brought the opportunity to work with great actors. And of course the opportunity to ‚mince about‘ was an added element that I wanted to take advantage of!
Dwayne JohnsonWhere there is a free government, and the people make their own laws by their representatives, I see no injustice in their obliging one another to take their own paper money.
Benjamin FranklinPeople who eat with their mouth open should be punched in the face.
Kevin HartWe shouldn’t have to be burdened with all the technicalities that come up from time to time with shrewd, smart lawyers interpreting what the laws or what the Constitution may or may not say.
Dan QuayleWhat do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich NietzscheGravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent.
Isaac NewtonNo man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Booker T. WashingtonLove is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world… Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinRead not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted… but to weigh and consider.
Francis BaconAn agent won’t help you get drafted higher, won’t make you win more games, and won’t make you faster or stronger.
Lou HoltzIt is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope.
Niccolo MachiavelliWherever there is a settled society, religion is necessary; the laws cover manifest crimes, and religion covers secret crimes.
VoltaireIn honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius CiceroThe moon gravitates towards the earth and by the force of gravity is continually drawn off from a rectilinear motion and retained in its orbit.
Isaac NewtonObama has no way to conceal that Osama was executed in front of his children and wives, who are now under the custody of the authorities of Pakistan, a Muslim country of almost 200 million inhabitants, whose laws have been violated, its national dignity offended, and its religious traditions desecrated.
Fidel CastroDo not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
Confucius
