Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce Quote

The Cabinet, in a word, is a board of control chosen by the legislature, out of persons whom it trusts and knows, to rule the nation.

Law is common force organized to prevent injustice.

It is not because men have made laws, that personality, liberty, and property exist. On the contrary, it is because personality, liberty, and property exist beforehand, that men make laws.

The law, then, is solely the organization of individual rights that existed before law.

Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one

We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones
