“Good laws left to the interpretation of evil men are no longer good.”

“A sword is only as good, or as evil, as its user. In good hands it defends the helpless and brings justice. In evil hands it leaves a swath of despair and suffering. The same goes for...laws--or anything, for that matter. Either good men use them for good, or evil men use them for evil, but they are not inherently good or evil in themselves."--Wenchel”

“You think that your laws correct evil - they only increase it. There is but one way to end evil - by rendering good for evil to all men without distinction.”

“Lawful good to lawful evil!" said Simon, pleased."He's quoting Dungeons and Dragons," said Clary. "Ignore him.”

“A good practice carried to an extreme and worked in accordance with the letter of the law becomes a positive evil.”

“And this is the eternal law. For, Evil often stops short at istelf and dies with the doer of it! but Good, never.”
