“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”― Winston S. Churchill “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Now the law of nonviolence says that violence should be resisted not by counter-violence but by nonviolence. This I do by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment.” ― Mahatma Gandhi “It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.” ― Aristotle “If you want good laws, burn those you have and make new ones.” ― Voltaire “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” ― Voltaire “I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.” ― Robert A. Heinlein “Any fool can make a rule and any fool will mind it.” ― Henry David Thoreau “The minute you read something that you cant understand, you can almost be sure that it was drawn up by a lawyer. ” ― Will Rogers “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” ― Tacitus “A unjust law, is no law at all.” ― Martin Luther, founder Lutheran Church “Law applied to its extreme is the greatest injustice” –Cicero “One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.”- Martin Luther King “Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.” ― Montesquieu “Law is made by the winner to preserve victory over the loser.” ― Toba Beta “The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.” ― Max Stirner “If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law” – Henry David Thoreau
