“Law applied to its extreme is the greatest injustice”

“God's law is 'right reason.' When perfectly understood it is called 'wisdom.' When applied by government in regulating human relations it is called 'justice.”

“True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands, and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions.”

“For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.”

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”

“To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.”

“We are bound by the law, so that we may be free.”
