There's a misconception about Barack Obama as a former constitutional law professor. First of all, there are plenty of professors who are 'legal relativists.' They tend to view legal principles as relative to whatever they're trying to achieve.

Democrats view elections as a means to an end, while Republicans view an election as an end in itself.

Timothy Noah

Since natural law was thought to be accessible to the ordinary man, the theory invited each juror to inquire for himself whether a particular rule of law was consonant with principles of higher law. This view is reflected in John Adams' statement that it would be an 'absurdity' for jurors to be required to accept the judge's view of the law, 'against their own opinion, judgment, and conscience.'

John Adams

A low view of law always produces legalism; a high view of law makes a person a seeker after grace.

John Gresham Machen

"Law professors were never like economics professors," a Harvard Law professor told me. "If you disagreed with someone, you didn't call him a fool."

Calvin Trillin

Many women tend toward the interdependent end of things, we tend to see ourselves in relationship to others to a far greater degree than men.

Gish Jen

I don't view myself as powerful. I mean, I view myself as a person that like everybody else is fighting for survival. That's all I view myself as and I really view myself now as somewhat of a messenger. You know, this is a massive thing that's going on. These are millions and millions of people that have been disenfranchised from this country. I was in front of a group yesterday, at least 25,000 people. The place was going crazy, and I said, I'm like the messenger.

Donald Trump

Women tend to very much, very much think of money as a means to an end, not as an end in itself.

Sallie Krawcheck

Genius is answerable only to itself; it is the sole judge of the means, since it alone knows the end; thus genius must consider itself as above the law, for it is the task of genius to remake the law; moreover the man who frees himself from his time and place may take everything, hazard everything, for everything is his by right.

Honore de Balzac

Education must have an end in view, for it is not an end in itself.

Sybil Marshall

I've always thought darker characters were more fun to play. They're probably not any more complex or interesting than their good, law-abiding cousins, and I'd always tend to see things from their point of view.

Aidan Gillen

The law is not an end in itself, nor does it provide ends. It is preeminently a means to serve what we think is right.

William J. Brennan

My poems tend to have rhetorical structures; what I mean by that is they tend to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. There tends to be an opening, as if you were reading the opening chapter of a novel. They sound like I'm initiating something, or I'm making a move.

Billy Collins

Whenever you try to break God's moral law, you end up breaking yourself and hurting others - all while proving His law in the process.

Ravi Zacharias

You have to have a sense of what it looks like, not from the point of view of the policymaker but from the point of view of those who are at the receiving end of your policies.

Lee Hsien Loong

I think I don't view myself as an author. I view myself as a person. I view anything as part of being a person, so I feel okay with "marketing" or other things like that.

Tao Lin
