Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason. The law which is perfection of reason. "If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, "the law is a ass, a idiot." Be you never so high, the law is above you. Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue. Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.

Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Cae- - Matthew There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws would not deserve hanging ten times in his life. Where law ends, there tyranny begins. The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.
