Hayakawa The greatest crimes are caused by surfeit, not by want.  ~Aristotle, Politics Corn can't expect justice from a court composed of chickens.  ~African Proverb The more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws.  ~Tacitus, Annals The houses of lawyers are roofed with the skins of litigants.  ~Welsh Proverb If the jury have no right to judge of the justice of a law of the government, they plainly can do nothing to protect the people against the oppressions of the government; for there are no oppressions which the government may not authorize by law.  ~Lysander Spooner, Trial by Jury
