Although I notice there is never a truly good time to have a nice long chat with one´s mother-in-law, unless you are having an extraordinary life and marriage and your mother-in-law is, say, Maureen Dowd, or Indira Gandhi. Someone of that ilk.
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 t...
The way to heal your relationship is to look for the underlying conditions in yourself and in your partner that have caused your relationship to go off track and then to seek out the guidance you need to heal yourself. The Laws of Love will give you ...
We cry down the law in respect of justification, but we set it up as a rule of sanctification. The law sends us to the Gospel that we may be justified; and the Gospel sends us to the law again to inquire what is our duty as those who are justified.
When states are democratically governed according to law, there are no demagogues, and the best citizens are securely in the saddle; but where the laws are not sovereign, there you find demagogues. The people become a monarch... such people, in its r...
Are you going to be nice to me now?" "I'm always nice to you." Sure. Law ground his chin into Tom's groin, making Tom jump. "Why would I suddenly start being nice to you?" Law said. "You put out for an asshole. That guy is still here.
English law in the 15th and 16th centuries, despite being manipulated in favour of the king, did to some extent offer protection against arbitrary arrest and imprisonment. Death sentences could in theory only be imposed after lawful judgment. Slavery...
Multi-millionaires who pay half or less than half of the percentage of tax the rest of us pay justify their actions by saying they pay what the law requires. Though true, the fact is they found ways within the law to beat the purpose of the law - whi...
The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion - it is something else altogether. Religion makes law and moral obedience a means of salvation, while irreligion makes the individual a law to him - or herself. The gospel, however, is that Jesus takes th...
The law is so complex and voluminous that no one, not even the most knowledgeable lawyer, can understand it all. Moreover, lawyers and legal scholars have not gone out of their way to make the law accessible to the ordinary person. Just the opposite:...
Professor Rohl: Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law. Professor Rohl: 8000 people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only 6 of murder. Professor Rohl: ...
I don't think the law exists to arrive at the truth. If it did, we wouldn't have exclusionary rules, we wouldn't have presumptions of innocence, we wouldn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt. There's an enormous difference between the role of truth ...
School Bully: Keith. Keithy. oi, oi. [whistles] Shaun: Talkin' to me? [nods] Shaun: What? School Bully: I never knew Keith Chegwin had a son. Shaun: Piss off. School Bully: What the fuck are they? Shaun: These, I'm wearing them for a bet, what's your...

In high school I attended a magnet school—for refrigerators.
In high school, I was kind of a loner because I had moved to a new school.
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that's still what I do: teach.
I've only been to high school on TV and in movies. I've never actually been to high school.
I never went to school. I never went to acting school because I was so scared.
Fate decides our future if we don't intervene.
