Quotations regarding 'Laws'

Choose a letter: 
A state is better governed which has few laws, and those laws strictly observed.
Rene Descartes, French Mathematician (1596-1650)
I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.
David Deutsch, Scientist
Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country.
Jared Diamond, American Author (1937-  )
If we're going to change the laws, let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens.
John Dingell, American Politician (1926-  )
The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.
Paul Dirac, British Physicist (1902-1984)
Guy Rivers, a conventional piece as regards the love affair which makes a part of the plot, is a tale of deadly strife between the laws of Georgia and a fiendish bandit.
Carl Clinton Van Doren, American Critic (1885-1950)
Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do.
Byron Dorgan, American Politician (1942-  )
They that possess the prince possess the laws.
John Dryden, English Poet (1631-1700)
I don't follow any system. All the laws you can lay down are only so many props to be cast aside when the hour of creation arrives.
Raoul Dufy, French Artist (1877-1953)
We may not all break the Ten Commandments, but we are certainly all capable of it. Within us lurks the breaker of all laws, ready to spring out at the first real opportunity.
Isadora Duncan, American Dancer (1877-1927)
If man asks for many laws it is only because he is sure that his neighbor needs them; privately he is an unphilosophical anarchist, and thinks laws in his own case superfluous.
Will Durant, American Historian (1885-1981)
There's almost no way of doing importing honestly, because if you do you're at such a disadvantage competitively. So people spend huge amounts of effort getting around stupid laws and not paying taxes.
Esther Dyson, American Scientist (1951-  )
It is one thing for the human mind to extract from the phenomena of nature the laws which it has itself put into them; it may be a far harder thing to extract laws over which it has no control.
Arthur Eddington, British Scientist (1882-1944)
It is even possible that laws which have not their origin in the mind may be irrational, and we can never succeed in formulating them.
Arthur Eddington, British Scientist (1882-1944)
I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.
Thomas A. Edison, American Inventor (1847-1931)
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
Tryon Edwards, American Theologian
We shall meet again. I have believed in God. I obeyed the laws of war and was loyal to my flag.
Adolf Eichmann, German Criminal (1906-1962)
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
Albert Einstein, German Physicist (1879-1955)
Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
Albert Einstein, German Physicist (1879-1955)
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
Albert Einstein, German Physicist (1879-1955)
