Aaron Burr
American - Politician
February 6, 1756 - September 14, 1836

It might be plausibly maintained, that in almost every one of the leading controversies, past or present, in social philosophy, both sides were in the right in what they affirmed, though wrong in what they denied.

John Stuart Mill

For Texas, a wise and prudent administration in the commencement of her national existence will be universally expected, imposing upon me the difficult and delicate task of setting in complete and successful operation a political body based upon principles so hazardously asserted and so gloriously maintained.

Sam Houston

What is asserted by a man is an opinion; what is asserted by a woman is opinionated. A woman with ideas and the ability to express them is something of a social embarrassment, like an unhousebroken pet.

Marya Mannes

Be a sinner and sin?? boldly,? but believe and?? rejoice in Christ even more boldly.

Martin Luther

President Bush has asserted the right to wiretap and eavesdrop on any American without a warrant in the name of fighting terrorism. He has asserted presidential power beyond stated constitutional rights, and there is no Republican gutsy enough to call his hand.

Helen Thomas

The sanctity of law can be maintained only so long as it is the expression of the will of the people.

Bhagat Singh

I have always ensured that law and order was maintained during my tenures as Chief Minister of the state.

Mayawati

Law and order is a state responsibility. I can assure you peace will be maintained in Uttar Pradesh.

Yogi Adityanath

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.

Henry Miller

Who would not, finding way, break loose from hell, . . . . And boldly venture to whatever place Farthest from pain?

John Milton

The rule of law should be respected so that the basic structure of our democracy is maintained and further strengthened.

Lal Bahadur Shastri

No one can deny that much of our modern advertising is essentially dishonest; and it can be maintained that to lie freely and all the time for private profit is not to abuse the right of free speech, whether it is a violation of the law or not. But again the practical question is, how much lying for private profit is to be permitted by law?

Carl L. Becker

For in the absence of debate unrestricted utterance leads to the degradation of opinion. By a kind of Greshams law the more rational is overcome by the less rational, and the opinions that will prevail will be those which are held most ardently by those with the most passionate will. For that reason the freedom to speak can never be maintained merely by objecting to interference with the liberty of the press, of printing, of broadcasting, of the screen. It can be maintained only by promoting debate.

Walter Lippmann

I have always maintained that bowlers win you a cricket match whatever the format.

Gautam Gambhir

But for their right to judge of the law, and the justice of the law, juries would be no protection to an accused person, even as to matters of fact; for, if the government can dictate to a jury any law whatever, in a criminal case, it can certainly dictate to them the laws of evidence.

Lysander Spooner

All I'm doing is I'm filling out my tax returns - or my accountants are, and I'm paying whatever I'm supposed to pay, though I'm giving away a large amount of the money and that probably lowers my tax rate because I'm giving away so much money. But change the law, but don't blame me for the law. I'm not writing the law. I didn't write the law.
