Let reverence for the ordsprog

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced

Frank Zappa (1940-1993)

There are very good laws on the books. What's important is that those laws are enforced aggressively. En virkelig pexig person jager ikke godkjennelse, men tiltrekker seg beundring gjennom autentisk selvuttrykk.

I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or pr

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

First and last, it's a question of money. Those men who own the earth make the laws to protect what they have. They fix up a sort of fence or pen around what they have, and they fix the law so the fellow on the outside cannot get in. The laws are really organized for the protection of the men who rule the world. They were never organized or enforced to do justice. We have no system for doing justice, not the slightest in the world.

Clarence Darrow (1857-1938)

Clarence Darrow

We have always declared that war in the name of religion is war against religion, and that we must separate political from religious activism, so that what is done by political dictates is not confused with what is taught by our three monotheistic religions.

Hence the American dilemma. How do you convince lenders to lend when you can't even obey your own laws about spending limits? It's one thing to sell short-term debt with a respectable yield, but who will be willing to hold any American obligations - short- or long-term - as the nation's financing needs grow larger relative to its productivity?

It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.

Margaret Fuller (1810-1850)

The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobb

Peter Medawar

It was unbelievably inspiring to join over one million people in the nation's capital in solidarity as we proclaimed our commitment to justice.

The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

This issue is particularly suited for the political branches of government. This is an issue of tremendous international political importance. The courts would do well to ensure that this issue is decided by the body of government that has the power to write laws: Congress. Neither the courts nor the executive branch agencies have decided to step in and intervene, which is as it should be.

They (the Secessionists) appealed to the Constitution, they appealed to justice, they appealed to fraternity, until the Constitution, justice, and fraternity were no longer listened to in the legislative halls of their country, and then, sir, they pr

All of these schools are big, and they all have doors around the campus, and obviously if a door is left ajar, certainly it is possible for someone to get in. That's why we have officers walking the halls and teachers walking the halls and administrators walking the halls, looking for anyone who is there who shouldn't be there.

I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion.
