The law of England has established trial by judge and jury in the conviction that it is the mode best calculated to ascertain the truth.

Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.

The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.

Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense—nonsense upon stilts.

The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny.

Lawyers sometimes tell the truth. They'll do anything to win a case.

Every law is an infraction of liberty.
