Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Statesman
In time of war the laws are silent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Statesman
Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.

Emile M. Cioran, Romanian Philosopher (1911-  )
We cannot afford to have any large section of the business world in doubt whether they have broken the laws or not, and we cannot let the laws become a dead letter through vagueness. In this view it is clear that an administrative commission can render invaluable service.
John Bates Clark, American Economist (1847-1938)
However, we do not lack anti-terrorist laws. I do not believe that the recent London bombs were the result of any deficiencies in our legal system.
Kenneth Clarke, English Politician (1940-  )
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works; for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.

After an existence of nearly 20 years of almost innocuous desuetude, these laws are brought forth.
Grover Cleveland, American President (1837-1908)
My tears will keep no channel, know no laws to guide their streams, but like the waves, their cause, run with disturbance till they swallow me as a description of his misery.
John Cleveland, English Poet
The president appoints the judges. Your lives and your children's lives can change by all of these appellate court judges who will be appointed who will reinterpret laws, and things can change.
Johnnie Cochran, American Lawyer (1937-2005)
Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.
Bram Cohen, American Scientist
An occupying power has no right to make significant alterations in the character of the occupied society, to change the laws all around, without a strong security reason and so forth.
Juan Cole, American Educator
The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax us citizens for our carbon footprints.
John Coleman, American Businessman
All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.
John Coltrane, American Musician (1926-1967)
