laws

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

Law is order, and good law is good order.

Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.

The law is reason free from passion.

Man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all.

Ancient laws remain in force long after the people have the power to change them.

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.

The law of chastity is not a negative proposition, but a positive one because in its observance there are spiritual values that far outweigh the physical dangers that we often emphasize. I believe the chances are that our children will respond to the positive attitude quicker and more thoroughly than they do to the negative. Let's show them the values that there are in that law.

Moral education, as I understand it, is not about inculcating obedience to law or cultivating self-virtue, it is rather about finding within us an ever-increasing sense of the worth of creation. It is about how we can develop and deepen our intuitive sense of beauty and creativity.

And while the law [of competition] may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.
