People - pardon me, journalists and politicians - have often accused me of believing that I'm above the law. And yet, who isn't? Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you.

Narendra Modi

The Democrats keep repeating over and over again, 'the President is not above the law.' I've said it before, 'the President is not above the law' but he damn sure shouldn't be below it either.

John Ratcliffe

The problem for us, as viewers, is that we want famous people who are passionate about the things they're famous for, because that makes them worthy of the attention. But I think many of those famous people just want to be famous.

Bo Burnham

When you know the law, you're above the law. When you break the law, you're under the law.

KRS-One

Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're something special and you're above other people.

Avril Lavigne

If no divine law is recognized above the law of the State, then the law of man has become absolute in men's eyes--there is then no logical barrier to totalitarianism.

Greg L. Bahnsen

A bifurcation of loyalties that requires religious to put canon law above civil law and moral law puts us in a situation where the keepers of religion may themselves become one of the greatest dangers to the credibility - and the morality - of the church itself.
