There is no jewel in the world comparable to learning; no learning so excellent as knowledge of laws.

A thing which is not in esse but in apparent expectancy is regarded in law.

So as grave and learned men may doubt, without any imputation to them; for the most learned doubteth most, and the more ignorant for the most part are the more bold and peremptory.

Everyone thirsteth after gaine.

Force ought to follow justice and not to precede.

Reason is the life of the law.

Those who consent to the act and those who do it shall be equally punished.
