"The study of law should be introduced as part of a liberal education, to train and enrich the mind ... I am convinced that, like history, economics, and metaphysics --- and perhaps even to a greater degree than these---the law could be advantageously studied with a view to the general development of the mind."

Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"No law perfectly suits the convenience of every member of the community; the only consideration is, whether upon the whole it be profitable to the greater part."

Livy
History of Rome (circa 10 BC)

"Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed."

Benjamin Franklin
Poor Richard's Almanac, 1756

"The law's final justification is in the good it does or fails to do the society of a given place and time."

Albert Camus
