• A function to each organ, and each organ to its own function, is the law of all organization. – Herbert Spencer • A government of laws, and not of men. – John Adams • A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer. – Robert Frost • A law is valuable not because it is law, but because there is right in it. – Henry Ward Beecher • A man would have to be an idiot to write a book of laws for an apple tree telling it to bear apples and not thorns, seeing that the apple-tree will do it naturally and far better than any laws or teaching can prescribe. – Martin Luther • A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman. – Robert Frost • Accordingly, we find Euler and D’Alembert devoting their talent and their patience to the establishment of the laws of rotation of the solid bodies. Lagrange has incorporated his own analysis of the problem with his general treatment of mechanics, and since his time M. Poinsôt has brought the subject under the power of a more searching analysis than that of the calculus, in which ideas take the place of symbols, and intelligent propositions supersede equations. – James Clerk Maxwell • After death, life reappears in a different form and with different laws. It is inscribed in the laws of the permanence of life on the surface of the earth and everything that has been a plant and an animal will be destroyed and transformed into a gaseous, volatile and mineral substance. – Louis Pasteur • All the effects of Nature are only the mathematical consequences of a small number of immutable laws. – Pierre-Simon Laplace • All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers. – James Clerk Maxwell • All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers. – James Clerk Maxwell • All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. – Thomas Jefferson • An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. – Mahatma Gandhi • And do as adversaries do in law, strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. – William Shakespeare • And it is to these rights – the right of law and order, the right of life, the right of liberty, the right of a job, the right of a home in a decent neighborhood, and the right to an education – it is to these rights that I pledge my life and whatever capacity and ability I have. – Hubert H. Humphrey • Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear. – Marquis de Sade • As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end. – Adlai E. Stevenson • As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. – Albert Einstein • As labor creates the wealth of the country, we demand the passage of such laws as may be necessary to protect it in all its rights. – John Peter Altgeld • As three laws were good enough for Newton, I have modestly decided to stop there. – Arthur C. Clarke • At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.- Aristotle

Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. – Frederic Bastiat • But it will be found… that one universal law prevails in all these phenomena. Where two portions of the same light arrive in the eye by different routes, either exactly or very nearly in the same direction, the appearance or disappearance of various colours is determined by the greater or less difference in the lengths of the paths. – Thomas Young • But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. – Richard P. Feynman • But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this;-we can perceive that events are brought about, not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular ease, but by the establishment of general laws. – William Whewell • Conscientious and careful physicians allocate causes of disease to natural laws, while the ablest scientists go back to medicine for their first principles. – Aristotle • ‘Conservation’ (the conservation law) means this … that there is a number, which you can calculate, at one moment-and as nature undergoes its multitude of changes, this number doesn’t change. That is, if you calculate again, this quantity, it’ll be the same as it was before. An example is the conservation of energy: there’s a quantity that you can calculate according to a certain rule, and it comes out the same answer after, no matter what happens, happens. – Richard P. Feynman • Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. – Aleister Crowley • Effects vary with the conditions which bring them to pass, but laws do not vary. Physiological and pathological states are ruled by the same forces; they differ only because of the special conditions under which the vital laws manifest themselves. – Claude Bernard • Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the facade of the Supreme Court building, it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society. It is one of the ends for which our entire legal system exists…it is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic status. – Lewis F. Powell, Jr. • Equality before the law in a true democracy is a matter of right. It cannot be a matter of charity or of favor or of grace or of discretion. – Wiley Blount Rutledge • Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence: nor is the law less stable than the fact.- John Adams • For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations. The beauty of the basic laws of natural science, as revealed in the study of particles and of the cosmos, is allied to the litheness of a merganser diving in a pure Swedish lake, or the grace of a dolphin leaving shining trails at night in the Gulf of California. – Murray Gell-Mann • From all we have learnt about the structure of living matter, we must be prepared to find it working in a manner that cannot be reduced to the ordinary laws of physics. And that not on the ground that there is any ‘new force’ or what not, directing the behaviour of the single atoms within a living organism, but because the construction is different from anything we have yet tested in the physical laboratory. – Erwin Schrodinger • God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man. – Benjamin Franklin • Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect. – Hunter S. Thompson • Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.- Plato • He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t. This is an inexorable, indisputable law. – Pablo Picasso • He is no lawyer who cannot take two sides. – Charles Lamb • Henry Cavendish fixed the weight of the earth; he established the proportions of the constituents of the air; he occupied himself with the quantitative study of the laws of heat; and lastly, he demonstrated the nature of water and determined its volumetric composition. Earth, air, fire, and water-each and all came within the range of his observations. – Thomas Edward Thorpe • Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal. – Arthur C. Clarke • I cannot accept that to be realistic means to tolerate misery, violence and hate. I do not believe that the hungry man should be treated as subversive for expressing his suffering. I shall never accept that the law can be used to justify tragedy, to keep things as they are, to make us abandon our ideas of a different world. Law is the path of liberty, and must as such open the way to progress for everyone. – Oscar Arias • I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. – Ulysses S. Grant • I may finally call attention to the probability that the association of paternal and maternal chromosomes in pairs and their subsequent separation during the reducing division as indicated above may constitute the physical basis of the Mendelian law of heredity. – Walter Sutton • I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said ‘Are you going to help?’ I said ‘No, six should be enough.’ – Les Dawson • I say, break the law. – Henry David Thoreau • I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement. – Calvin Coolidge • I think the next [21st] century will be the century of complexity. We have already discovered the basic laws that govern matter and understand all the normal situations. We don’t know how the laws fit together, and what happens under extreme conditions. But I expect we will find a complete unified theory sometime this century. The is no limit to the complexity that we can build using those basic laws. – Stephen Hawking • I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, ‘Get the hell off my property.’ – Joan Rivers • If a given scientist had not made a given discovery, someone else would have done so a little later. Johann Mendel dies unknown after having discovered the laws of heredity: thirty-five years later, three men rediscover them. But the book that is not written will never be written. The premature death of a great scientist delays humanity; that of a great writer deprives it. – Jean Rostand • If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband’s family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn’t she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye? – Lisa See • If one were not animated with the desire to discover laws, they would escape the most enlightened attention. – Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac • If the [Vestiges] be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain; religion is a lie; human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice; morality is moonshine; our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madmen; and man and woman are only better beasts! – Adam Sedgwick • If the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics. – Pierre Duhem • If the law supposes that,’ said Mr Bumble…’ the law is an ass – an idiot. – Charles Dickens • If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. – Henry David Thoreau • If there is anything in the world which I do firmly believe in, it is the universal validity of the law of causation. – Thomas Huxley • If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers. – Charles Dickens • If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made. – Otto von Bismarck • If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law. – Winston Churchill • Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it. – Addison Mizner • Ignorance of the law excuses no man. – John Selden • In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread. – Anatole France • In law, nothing is certain but the expense. – Samuel Butler • In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided. – Albert Einstein • In science, law is not a rule imposed from without, but an expression of an intrinsic process. The laws of the lawgiver are impotent beside the laws of human nature, as to his disillusion many a lawgiver has discovered. – Clifford Allbutt • In the light of fuller day, Of purer science, holier laws. – Charles Kingsley • Isolated facts and experiments have in themselves no value, however great their number may be. They only become valuable in a theoretical or practical point of view when they make us acquainted with the law of a series of uniformly recurring phenomena, or, it may be, only give a negative result showing an incompleteness in our knowledge of such a law, till then held to be perfect. – Hermann von Helmholtz • It ain’t no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don’t break any. – Mae West • It doesn’t do good to open doors for someone who doesn’t have the price to get in. If he has the price, he may not need the laws. There is no law saying the Negro has to live in Harlem or Watts. – Ronald Reagan • It is a law, that every event depends on some law. – John Stuart Mill • It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so. – Robert A. Heinlein • It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. – Henry David Thoreau • It is evident, therefore, that one of the most fundamental problems of psychology is that of investigating the laws of mental growth. When these laws are known, the door of the future will in a measure be opened; determination of the child’s present status will enable us to forecast what manner of adult he will become. – Lewis Terman • It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. – Henry David Thoreau • It is not your work to make anything happen. It’s your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That’s the promise of Law of Attraction. – Esther Hicks • It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called ‘exact sciences’ which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another. – Vasco Ronchi • It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately. – Thomas Jefferson • It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive. – Earl Warren • It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood. – James Madison • Law and justice are not always the same. – Gloria Steinem • Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • Law is a bottomless pit. – John Arbuthnot • Law is a Bottomless-Pit, it is a Cormorant, a Harpy, that devours every thing. – John Arbuthnot • Law is nothing unless close behind it stands a warm, living public opinion. – Wendell Phillips • Law is often the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Law is order, and good law is good order. – Aristotle • Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community. – Thomas Aquinas • Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. – Albert Einstein • Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time. • Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. – Jonathan Swift • Laws are like spiders webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape. – Solon • Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant. – John Adams • Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law. – Oliver Goldsmith • Laws of Nature are God’s thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbs and the tides. – Charles Henry Parkhurst • Laws should be made, not against quacks but against superstition. – Rudolf Virchow • Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. – Benjamin Franklin • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations derived from the nature of things. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. In this sense all beings have their laws: the Deity His laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, like houses, lean on one another. – Edmund Burke • Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government. – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon • Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished. – Jeremy Bentham • Lawyers, I suppose, were children once. – Charles Lamb • Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation. – Abraham Lincoln • Let us consider the reason of the case. For nothing is law that is not reason. – John Powell • Life itself is but the expression of a sum of phenomena, each of which follows the ordinary physical and chemical laws. – Rudolf Virchow • Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. – Frederic Bastiat • Man is made for science; he reasons from effects to causes, and from causes to effects; but he does not always reason without error. In reasoning, therefore, from appearances which are particular, care must be taken how we generalize; we should be cautious not to attribute to nature, laws which may perhaps be only of our own invention. – James Hutton • Many laws as certainly make men bad, as bad men make many laws. – Walter Savage Landor • Mastering the lawless science of our law,- that codeless myriad of precedent, that wilderness of single instances. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • Mathematics is much more than a language for dealing with the physical world. It is a source of models and abstractions which will enable us to obtain amazing new insights into the way in which nature operates. Indeed, the beauty and elegance of the physical laws themselves are only apparent when expressed in the appropriate mathematical framework. – Melvin Schwartz • Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Nature seems to take advantage of the simple mathematical representations of the symmetry laws. When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop. – Chen-Ning Yang • Necessity has no law. – Oliver Cromwell • Necessity knows no law. – Aesop • Necessity knows no law; I know some attorneys of the same. – Benjamin Franklin • No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No man is above the law, and no man is below it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No physiologist who calmly considers the question in connection with the general truths of his science, can long resist the conviction that different parts of the cerebrum subserve different kinds of mental action. Localization of function is the law of all organization whatever: separateness of duty is universally accompanied with separateness of structure: and it would be marvellous were an exception to exist in the cerebral hemispheres. – Herbert Spencer • No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion. – Carrie Chapman Catt • Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. – Jean Anouilh • Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. – Tom C. Clark • Nothing is accidental in the universe – this is one of my Laws of Physics – except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity. – Joyce Carol Oates • Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. – Albert Einstein • Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. – Douglas Adams • Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means – to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal �� would bring terrible retributions. – Louis D. Brandeis • Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. – Louis D. Brandeis • Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting. – Fredrik Bajer • Parkinson’s Law is a purely scientific discovery, inapplicable except in theory to the politics of the day. It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow. – C. Northcote Parkinson • People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be. – Isaac Asimov • Physio-philosophy has to show how, and in accordance indeed with what laws, the Material took its origin; and, therefore, how something derived its existence from nothing. It has to portray the first periods of the world’s development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness. – Lorenz Oken • Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reasonThe law, which is perfection of reason. – Edward Coke • Research is industrial prospecting. The oil prospectors use every scientific means to find new paying wells. Oil is found by each one of a number of methods. My own group of men are prospecting in a different field, using every possible scientific means. We believe there are still things left to be discovered. We have only stumbled upon a few barrels of physical laws from the great pool of knowledge. Some day we are going to hit a gusher. – Charles Kettering • Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Science corrects the old creeds, sweeps away, with every new perception, our infantile catechisms, and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses yet it does not surprise the moral sentiment that was older and awaited expectant these larger insights. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Science dissipates errors born of ignorance about our true relations with nature, errors the more damaging in that the social order should rest only on those relations. TRUTH! JUSTICE! Those are the immutable laws. Let us banish the dangerous maxim that it is sometimes useful to depart from them and to deceive or enslave mankind to assure its happiness. – Pierre-Simon Laplace • Science is composed of laws which were originally based on a small, carefully selected set of observations, often not very accurately measured originally; but the laws have later been found to apply over much wider ranges of observations and much more accurately than the original data justified. – Richard Hamming • Science is the knowledge of constant things, not merely of passing events, and is properly less the knowledge of general laws than of existing facts. – John Ruskin • Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit. – Seneca the Younger • Since the beginning of physics, symmetry considerations have provided us with an extremely powerful and useful tool in our effort to understand nature. Gradually they have become the backbone of our theoretical formulation of physical laws. – Tsung-Dao Lee • Sir Arthur Eddington deduces religion from the fact that atoms do not obey the laws of mathematics. Sir James Jeans deduces it from the fact that they do. – Bertrand Russell • Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal. – Friedrich Engels • Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as “miracles.” But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things … subservient to the rule of law. – Elisha Gray • Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim – when he defends himself – as a criminal. – Frederic Bastiat • Statistical science is indispensable to modern statesmanship. In legislation as in physical science it is beginning to be understood that we can control terrestrial forces only by obeying their laws. The legislator must formulate in his statutes not only the national will, but also those great laws of social life revealed by statistics. – James A. Garfield • That no generally applicable law of the formulation and development of hybrids has yet been successfully formulated can hardly astonish anyone who is acquainted with the extent of the task and who can appreciate the difficulties with which experiments of this kind have to contend. – Gregor Mendel • That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.- Martin Luther King, Jr. • The aim of science is to explain what so far has taken to be an explicans, such as a law of nature. The task of empirical science constantly renews itself. We may go on forever, proceeding to explanations of a higher and higher universality. – Karl Popper • The basic thesis of gestalt theory might be formulated thus: there are contexts in which what is happening in the whole cannot be deduced from the characteristics of the separate pieces, but conversely; what happens to a part of the whole is, in clearcut cases, determined by the laws of the inner structure of its whole. – Max Wertheimer • The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. – Abraham Lincoln • The burgeoning field of computer science has shifted our view of the physical world from that of a collection of interacting material particles to one of a seething network of information. In this way of looking at nature, the laws of physics are a form of software, or algorithm, while the material world-the hardware-plays the role of a gigantic computer. – Paul Davies • The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. – Thomas Huxley • The development doctrines are doing much harm on both sides of the Atlantic, especially among intelligent mechanics, and a class of young men engaged in the subordinate departments of trade and the law. And the harm, thus considerable in amount, must be necessarily more than merely considerable in degree. For it invariably happens, that when persons in these walks become materialists, they become turbulent subjects and bad men. – Hugh Miller • The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom. – John Locke • The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue. – Oliver Goldsmith • The fact that the regions of nature actually covered by known laws are few and fragmentary is concealed by the natural tendency to crowd our experience into those particular regions and to leave the others to themselves. We seek out those parts that are known and familiar and avoid those that are unknown and unfamiliar. This is simply what is called ‘Applied Science.’ – Arthur David Ritchie • The first postulate of the Principle of Uniformity, namely, that the laws of nature are invariant with time, is not peculiar to that principle or to geology, but is a common denominator of all science. In fact, instead of being an assumption or an ad hoc hypothesis, it is simply a succinct summation of the totality of all experimental and observational evidence. – M. King Hubbert • The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers. – William Shakespeare • The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche. – John Burroughs • The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.- Paul Dirac • The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. – William James • The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The good of the people is the greatest law. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics. – Joseph Lovering • The greatness of nations is shown by their strict regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of the law without bias, and just administration of the affairs of life. – Mary Burnett Talbert • The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept. – William Shakespeare • The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it. – Charles Macklin • The law is reason, free from passion. – Aristotle • The law is this: that each of our leading conceptions-each branch of our knowledge-passes successively through three different theoretical conditions: the Theological, or fictitious: the Metaphysical, or abstract; and the Scientific, or positive. – Auguste Comte • The law of conservation of energy tells us we can’t get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it. – Isaac Asimov • The law of heaven and earth is life for life. – Lord Byron • The law of the Conservation of Energy is already known — viz., that the sum of all the energies of the universe, actual and potential, is unchangeable. – William John Macquorn Rankine • The law of the heart is thus the same as the law of muscular tissue generally, that the energy of contraction, however measured, is a function of the length of the muscle fibre.- Ernest Starling • The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free. – Henry David Thoreau • The law… dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.- Alexander Hamilton • The laws and conditions of the production of wealth partake of the character of physical truths. There is nothing optional or arbitrary in them … It is not so with the Distribution of Wealth. That is a matter of human institution solely. The things once there, mankind, individually or collectively, can do with them as they like. – John Stuart Mill • The laws expressing the relations between energy and matter are, however, not solely of importance in pure science. They necessarily come first in order … in the whole record of human experience, and they control, in the last resort, the rise or fall of political systems, the freedom or bondage of nations, the movements of commerce and industry, the origin of wealth and poverty, and the general physical welfare of the race. – Frederick Soddy • The laws of Coexistence;-the adaptation of structure to function; and to a certain extent the elucidation of natural affinities may be legitimately founded upon the examination of fully developed species;-But to obtain an insight into the laws of development,-the signification or bedeutung, of the parts of an animal body demands a patient examination of the successive stages of their development, in every group of Animals. – Richard Owen • The laws of light and of heat translate each other;-so do the laws of sound and colour; and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • The mathematicians are well acquainted with the difference between pure science, which has only to do with ideas, and the application of its laws to the use of life, in which they are constrained to submit to the imperfections of matter and the influence of accidents. – Samuel Johnson • The more laws, the less justice. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government. – Tacitus • The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. – Samuel Adams • The natural scientist is concerned with a particular kind of phenomena … he has to confine himself to that which is reproducible … I do not claim that the reproducible by itself is more important than the unique. But I do claim that the unique exceeds the treatment by scientific method. Indeed it is the aim of this method to find and test natural laws. – Wolfgang Pauli • The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself. – Charles Dickens • The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law. – Aristotle • The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law. – Jeremy Bentham • The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. – Albert Einstein • The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms. – Theodor Schwann • The purpose of science is to develop, without prejudice or preconception of any kind, a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and the processes of nature. The even more important task of religion, on the other hand, is to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind. – Robert Andrews Millikan • The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality. – Max Planck • The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it. – Roger Nash Baldwin • The State calls its own violence, law; but that of the individual, crime. – Max Stirner • The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them. – Albert Einstein • The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. – H. L. Mencken • The trouble with law is lawyers. – Clarence Darrow • The true foundation of theology is to ascertain the character of God. It is by the aid of Statistics that law in the social sphere can be ascertained and codified, and certain aspects of the character of God thereby revealed. The study of statistics is thus a religious service. – Florence Nightingale • The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. – Frank Zappa • The united states is subject to the scrutiny of a candid world … what the united states does, for good or for ill, continues to be watched by the international community, in particular by organizations concerned with the advancement of the rule of law and respect for human dignity. – Ruth Bader Ginsburg • The University of Cambridge, in accordance with that law of its evolution, by which, while maintaining the strictest continuity between the successive phases of its history, it adapts itself with more or less promptness to the requirements of the times, has lately instituted a course of Experimental Physics. – James Clerk Maxwell • There is a higher law than the Constitution. – William H. Seward • There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish. – Alfred Adler • There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity – the law of nature and of nations. – Edmund Burke • There is no contradiction between effective law enforcement and respect for civil and human rights. – Dorothy Height • There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics. – Richard P. Feynman • There is nothing which Nature so clearly reveals, and upon which science so strongly insists, as the universal reign of law, absolute, universal, invariable law… Not one jot or tittle of the laws of Nature are unfulfilled. I do not believe it is possible to state this fact too strongly… Everything happens according to law, and, since law is the expression of Divine will, everything happens according to Divine will, i.e. is in some sense ordained, decreed. – Joseph LeConte • There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. – Napoleon Bonaparte • There is so much each one of us can do to make a difference. We are at a dangerous juncture in the history of mankind. … We need to defend our principles and values, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of international law. If we don’t our world will further descend into a state of chaos. – Bianca Jagger • Till facts are grouped & called there can be no prediction. The only advantage of discovering laws is to foretell what will happen & to see bearing of scattered facts. – Charles Darwin • ‘Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth. Those laws do not stop where our eyes lose them, but push the same geometry and chemistry up into the invisible plane of social and rational life, so that, look where we will, in a boy’s game, or in the strifes of races, a perfect reaction, a perpetual judgment keeps watch and ward. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • To give a causal explanation of an event means to deduce a statement which describes it, using as premises of the deduction one or more universal laws, together with certain singular statements, the initial conditions … We have thus two different kinds of statement, both of which are necessary ingredients of a complete causal explanation. – Karl Popper • To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. – George Boole • Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within. – Immanuel Kant • Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime. – Lucretius • Useless laws weaken the necessary laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • We must be governed by the force of law, not by the law of force. – William Sloane Coffin • We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror. – William Shakespeare • We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. – Ronald Reagan • We need safe communities that are free from methamphetamine and a federal commitment to stand next to state leadership and law enforcement in the fight against this epidemic. – Rick Larsen • What chemists took from Dalton was not new experimental laws but a new way of practicing chemistry (he himself called it the ‘new system of chemical philosophy’), and this proved so rapidly fruitful that only a few of the older chemists in France and Britain were able to resist it. – Thomas Kuhn • What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn’t prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary. – Stephen Hawking • When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken. – Benjamin Disraeli • When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive. – Miguel de Cervantes • When we live without listening to the timing of things, when we live and work in twenty-four-hour shifts without rest – we are on war time, mobilized for battle. Yes, we are strong and capable people, we can work without stopping, faster and faster, electric lights making artificial day so the whole machine can labor without ceasing. But remember: No living thing lives like this. There are greater rhythms, seasons and hormonal cycles and sunsets and moonrises and great movements of seas and stars. We are part of the creation story, subject to all its laws and rhythms. – Wayne Muller • Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. – Robert Kennedy • Where there’s no law, there’s no bread. – Benjamin Franklin • Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.- Mahatma Gandhi • Whether moral and social phenomena are really exceptions to the general certainty and uniformity of the course of nature; and how far the methods, by which so many of the laws of the physical world have been numbered among truths irrevocably acquired and universally assented to, can be made instrumental to the gradual formation of a similar body of received doctrine in moral and political science. – John Stuart Mill • Wise men have tried to understand our state of being, by grasping at its stars, or its arts, or its economics. But, if there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere. – Charles Fort • Without the discovery of uniformities there can be no concepts, no classifications, no formulations, no principles, no laws; and without these no science can exist. – Clyde Kluckhohn • You cannot make men good by law. – C. S. Lewis • You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society. – C. S. Lewis

Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. – Frederic Bastiat • But it will be found… that one universal law prevails in all these phenomena. Where two portions of the same light arrive in the eye by different routes, either exactly or very nearly in the same direction, the appearance or disappearance of various colours is determined by the greater or less difference in the lengths of the paths. – Thomas Young • But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. – Richard P. Feynman • But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this;-we can perceive that events are brought about, not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular ease, but by the establishment of general laws. – William Whewell • Conscientious and careful physicians allocate causes of disease to natural laws, while the ablest scientists go back to medicine for their first principles. – Aristotle • ‘Conservation’ (the conservation law) means this … that there is a number, which you can calculate, at one moment-and as nature undergoes its multitude of changes, this number doesn’t change. That is, if you calculate again, this quantity, it’ll be the same as it was before. An example is the conservation of energy: there’s a quantity that you can calculate according to a certain rule, and it comes out the same answer after, no matter what happens, happens. – Richard P. Feynman • Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. – Aleister Crowley • Effects vary with the conditions which bring them to pass, but laws do not vary. Physiological and pathological states are ruled by the same forces; they differ only because of the special conditions under which the vital laws manifest themselves. – Claude Bernard • Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the facade of the Supreme Court building, it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society. It is one of the ends for which our entire legal system exists…it is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic status. – Lewis F. Powell, Jr. • Equality before the law in a true democracy is a matter of right. It cannot be a matter of charity or of favor or of grace or of discretion. – Wiley Blount Rutledge • Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence: nor is the law less stable than the fact.- John Adams • For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations. The beauty of the basic laws of natural science, as revealed in the study of particles and of the cosmos, is allied to the litheness of a merganser diving in a pure Swedish lake, or the grace of a dolphin leaving shining trails at night in the Gulf of California. – Murray Gell-Mann • From all we have learnt about the structure of living matter, we must be prepared to find it working in a manner that cannot be reduced to the ordinary laws of physics. And that not on the ground that there is any ‘new force’ or what not, directing the behaviour of the single atoms within a living organism, but because the construction is different from anything we have yet tested in the physical laboratory. – Erwin Schrodinger • God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man. – Benjamin Franklin • Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect. – Hunter S. Thompson • Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.- Plato • He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t. This is an inexorable, indisputable law. – Pablo Picasso • He is no lawyer who cannot take two sides. – Charles Lamb • Henry Cavendish fixed the weight of the earth; he established the proportions of the constituents of the air; he occupied himself with the quantitative study of the laws of heat; and lastly, he demonstrated the nature of water and determined its volumetric composition. Earth, air, fire, and water-each and all came within the range of his observations. – Thomas Edward Thorpe • Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal. – Arthur C. Clarke • I cannot accept that to be realistic means to tolerate misery, violence and hate. I do not believe that the hungry man should be treated as subversive for expressing his suffering. I shall never accept that the law can be used to justify tragedy, to keep things as they are, to make us abandon our ideas of a different world. Law is the path of liberty, and must as such open the way to progress for everyone. – Oscar Arias • I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. – Ulysses S. Grant • I may finally call attention to the probability that the association of paternal and maternal chromosomes in pairs and their subsequent separation during the reducing division as indicated above may constitute the physical basis of the Mendelian law of heredity. – Walter Sutton • I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said ‘Are you going to help?’ I said ‘No, six should be enough.’ – Les Dawson • I say, break the law. – Henry David Thoreau • I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis upon the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement. – Calvin Coolidge • I think the next [21st] century will be the century of complexity. We have already discovered the basic laws that govern matter and understand all the normal situations. We don’t know how the laws fit together, and what happens under extreme conditions. But I expect we will find a complete unified theory sometime this century. The is no limit to the complexity that we can build using those basic laws. – Stephen Hawking • I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, ‘Get the hell off my property.’ – Joan Rivers • If a given scientist had not made a given discovery, someone else would have done so a little later. Johann Mendel dies unknown after having discovered the laws of heredity: thirty-five years later, three men rediscover them. But the book that is not written will never be written. The premature death of a great scientist delays humanity; that of a great writer deprives it. – Jean Rostand • If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband’s family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn’t she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye? – Lisa See • If one were not animated with the desire to discover laws, they would escape the most enlightened attention. – Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac • If the [Vestiges] be true, the labours of sober induction are in vain; religion is a lie; human law is a mass of folly, and a base injustice; morality is moonshine; our labours for the black people of Africa were works of madmen; and man and woman are only better beasts! – Adam Sedgwick • If the aim of physical theories is to explain experimental laws, theoretical physics is not an autonomous science; it is subordinate to metaphysics. – Pierre Duhem • If the law supposes that,’ said Mr Bumble…’ the law is an ass – an idiot. – Charles Dickens • If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. – Henry David Thoreau • If there is anything in the world which I do firmly believe in, it is the universal validity of the law of causation. – Thomas Huxley • If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers. – Charles Dickens • If you like laws and sausages, you should never watch either one being made. – Otto von Bismarck • If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law. – Winston Churchill • Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it. – Addison Mizner • Ignorance of the law excuses no man. – John Selden • In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread. – Anatole France • In law, nothing is certain but the expense. – Samuel Butler • In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided. – Albert Einstein • In science, law is not a rule imposed from without, but an expression of an intrinsic process. The laws of the lawgiver are impotent beside the laws of human nature, as to his disillusion many a lawgiver has discovered. – Clifford Allbutt • In the light of fuller day, Of purer science, holier laws. – Charles Kingsley • Isolated facts and experiments have in themselves no value, however great their number may be. They only become valuable in a theoretical or practical point of view when they make us acquainted with the law of a series of uniformly recurring phenomena, or, it may be, only give a negative result showing an incompleteness in our knowledge of such a law, till then held to be perfect. – Hermann von Helmholtz • It ain’t no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don’t break any. – Mae West • It doesn’t do good to open doors for someone who doesn’t have the price to get in. If he has the price, he may not need the laws. There is no law saying the Negro has to live in Harlem or Watts. – Ronald Reagan • It is a law, that every event depends on some law. – John Stuart Mill • It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so. – Robert A. Heinlein • It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. – Henry David Thoreau • It is evident, therefore, that one of the most fundamental problems of psychology is that of investigating the laws of mental growth. When these laws are known, the door of the future will in a measure be opened; determination of the child’s present status will enable us to forecast what manner of adult he will become. – Lewis Terman • It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. – Henry David Thoreau • It is not your work to make anything happen. It’s your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That’s the promise of Law of Attraction. – Esther Hicks • It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called ‘exact sciences’ which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another. – Vasco Ronchi • It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately. – Thomas Jefferson • It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive. – Earl Warren • It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood. – James Madison • Law and justice are not always the same. – Gloria Steinem • Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. – Martin Luther King, Jr. • Law is a bottomless pit. – John Arbuthnot • Law is a Bottomless-Pit, it is a Cormorant, a Harpy, that devours every thing. – John Arbuthnot • Law is nothing unless close behind it stands a warm, living public opinion. – Wendell Phillips • Law is often the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Law is order, and good law is good order. – Aristotle • Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community. – Thomas Aquinas • Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. – Albert Einstein • Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time. • Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. – Jonathan Swift • Laws are like spiders webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape. – Solon • Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant. – John Adams • Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law. – Oliver Goldsmith • Laws of Nature are God’s thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbs and the tides. – Charles Henry Parkhurst • Laws should be made, not against quacks but against superstition. – Rudolf Virchow • Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed. – Benjamin Franklin • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations derived from the nature of things. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. In this sense all beings have their laws: the Deity His laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • Laws, like houses, lean on one another. – Edmund Burke • Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government. – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon • Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished. – Jeremy Bentham • Lawyers, I suppose, were children once. – Charles Lamb • Let reverence for the laws . . . become the political religion of the nation. – Abraham Lincoln • Let us consider the reason of the case. For nothing is law that is not reason. – John Powell • Life itself is but the expression of a sum of phenomena, each of which follows the ordinary physical and chemical laws. – Rudolf Virchow • Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. – Frederic Bastiat • Man is made for science; he reasons from effects to causes, and from causes to effects; but he does not always reason without error. In reasoning, therefore, from appearances which are particular, care must be taken how we generalize; we should be cautious not to attribute to nature, laws which may perhaps be only of our own invention. – James Hutton • Many laws as certainly make men bad, as bad men make many laws. – Walter Savage Landor • Mastering the lawless science of our law,- that codeless myriad of precedent, that wilderness of single instances. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • Mathematics is much more than a language for dealing with the physical world. It is a source of models and abstractions which will enable us to obtain amazing new insights into the way in which nature operates. Indeed, the beauty and elegance of the physical laws themselves are only apparent when expressed in the appropriate mathematical framework. – Melvin Schwartz • Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Nature seems to take advantage of the simple mathematical representations of the symmetry laws. When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop. – Chen-Ning Yang • Necessity has no law. – Oliver Cromwell • Necessity knows no law. – Aesop • Necessity knows no law; I know some attorneys of the same. – Benjamin Franklin • No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No man is above the law, and no man is below it. – Theodore Roosevelt • No physiologist who calmly considers the question in connection with the general truths of his science, can long resist the conviction that different parts of the cerebrum subserve different kinds of mental action. Localization of function is the law of all organization whatever: separateness of duty is universally accompanied with separateness of structure: and it would be marvellous were an exception to exist in the cerebral hemispheres. – Herbert Spencer • No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion. – Carrie Chapman Catt • Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. – Jean Anouilh • Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. – Tom C. Clark • Nothing is accidental in the universe – this is one of my Laws of Physics – except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity. – Joyce Carol Oates • Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. – Albert Einstein • Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. – Douglas Adams • Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means – to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal – would bring terrible retributions. – Louis D. Brandeis • Our government… teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. – Louis D. Brandeis • Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting. – Fredrik Bajer • Parkinson’s Law is a purely scientific discovery, inapplicable except in theory to the politics of the day. It is not the business of the botanist to eradicate the weeds. Enough for him if he can tell us just how fast they grow. – C. Northcote Parkinson • People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be. – Isaac Asimov • Physio-philosophy has to show how, and in accordance indeed with what laws, the Material took its origin; and, therefore, how something derived its existence from nothing. It has to portray the first periods of the world’s development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness. – Lorenz Oken • Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reasonThe law, which is perfection of reason. – Edward Coke • Research is industrial prospecting. The oil prospectors use every scientific means to find new paying wells. Oil is found by each one of a number of methods. My own group of men are prospecting in a different field, using every possible scientific means. We believe there are still things left to be discovered. We have only stumbled upon a few barrels of physical laws from the great pool of knowledge. Some day we are going to hit a gusher. – Charles Kettering • Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. – Thomas Jefferson • Science corrects the old creeds, sweeps away, with every new perception, our infantile catechisms, and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses yet it does not surprise the moral sentiment that was older and awaited expectant these larger insights. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Science dissipates errors born of ignorance about our true relations with nature, errors the more damaging in that the social order should rest only on those relations. TRUTH! JUSTICE! Those are the immutable laws. Let us banish the dangerous maxim that it is sometimes useful to depart from them and to deceive or enslave mankind to assure its happiness. – Pierre-Simon Laplace • Science is composed of laws which were originally based on a small, carefully selected set of observations, often not very accurately measured originally; but the laws have later been found to apply over much wider ranges of observations and much more accurately than the original data justified. – Richard Hamming • Science is the knowledge of constant things, not merely of passing events, and is properly less the knowledge of general laws than of existing facts. – John Ruskin • Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit. – Seneca the Younger • Since the beginning of physics, symmetry considerations have provided us with an extremely powerful and useful tool in our effort to understand nature. Gradually they have become the backbone of our theoretical formulation of physical laws. – Tsung-Dao Lee • Sir Arthur Eddington deduces religion from the fact that atoms do not obey the laws of mathematics. Sir James Jeans deduces it from the fact that they do. – Bertrand Russell • Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal. – Friedrich Engels • Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as “miracles.” But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things … subservient to the rule of law. – Elisha Gray • Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim – when he defends himself – as a criminal. – Frederic Bastiat • Statistical science is indispensable to modern statesmanship. In legislation as in physical science it is beginning to be understood that we can control terrestrial forces only by obeying their laws. The legislator must formulate in his statutes not only the national will, but also those great laws of social life revealed by statistics. – James A. Garfield • That no generally applicable law of the formulation and development of hybrids has yet been successfully formulated can hardly astonish anyone who is acquainted with the extent of the task and who can appreciate the difficulties with which experiments of this kind have to contend. – Gregor Mendel • That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.- Martin Luther King, Jr. • The aim of science is to explain what so far has taken to be an explicans, such as a law of nature. The task of empirical science constantly renews itself. We may go on forever, proceeding to explanations of a higher and higher universality. – Karl Popper • The basic thesis of gestalt theory might be formulated thus: there are contexts in which what is happening in the whole cannot be deduced from the characteristics of the separate pieces, but conversely; what happens to a part of the whole is, in clearcut cases, determined by the laws of the inner structure of its whole. – Max Wertheimer • The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. – Abraham Lincoln • The burgeoning field of computer science has shifted our view of the physical world from that of a collection of interacting material particles to one of a seething network of information. In this way of looking at nature, the laws of physics are a form of software, or algorithm, while the material world-the hardware-plays the role of a gigantic computer. – Paul Davies • The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. – Thomas Huxley • The development doctrines are doing much harm on both sides of the Atlantic, especially among intelligent mechanics, and a class of young men engaged in the subordinate departments of trade and the law. And the harm, thus considerable in amount, must be necessarily more than merely considerable in degree. For it invariably happens, that when persons in these walks become materialists, they become turbulent subjects and bad men. – Hugh Miller • The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom. – John Locke • The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue. – Oliver Goldsmith • The fact that the regions of nature actually covered by known laws are few and fragmentary is concealed by the natural tendency to crowd our experience into those particular regions and to leave the others to themselves. We seek out those parts that are known and familiar and avoid those that are unknown and unfamiliar. This is simply what is called ‘Applied Science.’ – Arthur David Ritchie • The first postulate of the Principle of Uniformity, namely, that the laws of nature are invariant with time, is not peculiar to that principle or to geology, but is a common denominator of all science. In fact, instead of being an assumption or an ad hoc hypothesis, it is simply a succinct summation of the totality of all experimental and observational evidence. – M. King Hubbert • The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers. – William Shakespeare • The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche. – John Burroughs • The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved.- Paul Dirac • The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. – William James • The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The good of the people is the greatest law. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics. – Joseph Lovering • The greatness of nations is shown by their strict regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of the law without bias, and just administration of the affairs of life. – Mary Burnett Talbert • The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept. – William Shakespeare • The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it. – Charles Macklin • The law is reason, free from passion. – Aristotle • The law is this: that each of our leading conceptions-each branch of our knowledge-passes successively through three different theoretical conditions: the Theological, or fictitious: the Metaphysical, or abstract; and the Scientific, or positive. – Auguste Comte • The law of conservation of energy tells us we can’t get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it. – Isaac Asimov • The law of heaven and earth is life for life. – Lord Byron • The law of the Conservation of Energy is already known — viz., that the sum of all the energies of the universe, actual and potential, is unchangeable. – William John Macquorn Rankine • The law of the heart is thus the same as the law of muscular tissue generally, that the energy of contraction, however measured, is a function of the length of the muscle fibre.- Ernest Starling • The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free. – Henry David Thoreau • The law… dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.- Alexander Hamilton • The laws and conditions of the production of wealth partake of the character of physical truths. There is nothing optional or arbitrary in them … It is not so with the Distribution of Wealth. That is a matter of human institution solely. The things once there, mankind, individually or collectively, can do with them as they like. – John Stuart Mill • The laws expressing the relations between energy and matter are, however, not solely of importance in pure science. They necessarily come first in order … in the whole record of human experience, and they control, in the last resort, the rise or fall of political systems, the freedom or bondage of nations, the movements of commerce and industry, the origin of wealth and poverty, and the general physical welfare of the race. – Frederick Soddy • The laws of Coexistence;-the adaptation of structure to function; and to a certain extent the elucidation of natural affinities may be legitimately founded upon the examination of fully developed species;-But to obtain an insight into the laws of development,-the signification or bedeutung, of the parts of an animal body demands a patient examination of the successive stages of their development, in every group of Animals. – Richard Owen • The laws of light and of heat translate each other;-so do the laws of sound and colour; and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • The mathematicians are well acquainted with the difference between pure science, which has only to do with ideas, and the application of its laws to the use of life, in which they are constrained to submit to the imperfections of matter and the influence of accidents. – Samuel Johnson • The more laws, the less justice. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government. – Tacitus • The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. – Samuel Adams • The natural scientist is concerned with a particular kind of phenomena … he has to confine himself to that which is reproducible … I do not claim that the reproducible by itself is more important than the unique. But I do claim that the unique exceeds the treatment by scientific method. Indeed it is the aim of this method to find and test natural laws. – Wolfgang Pauli • The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself. – Charles Dickens • The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law. – Aristotle • The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law. – Jeremy Bentham • The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. – Albert Einstein • The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms. – Theodor Schwann • The purpose of science is to develop, without prejudice or preconception of any kind, a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and the processes of nature. The even more important task of religion, on the other hand, is to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind. – Robert Andrews Millikan • The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality. – Max Planck • The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it. – Roger Nash Baldwin • The State calls its own violence, law; but that of the individual, crime. – Max Stirner • The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them. – Albert Einstein • The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. – H. L. Mencken • The trouble with law is lawyers. – Clarence Darrow • The true foundation of theology is to ascertain the character of God. It is by the aid of Statistics that law in the social sphere can be ascertained and codified, and certain aspects of the character of God thereby revealed. The study of statistics is thus a religious service. – Florence Nightingale • The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. – Frank Zappa • The united states is subject to the scrutiny of a candid world … what the united states does, for good or for ill, continues to be watched by the international community, in particular by organizations concerned with the advancement of the rule of law and respect for human dignity. – Ruth Bader Ginsburg • The University of Cambridge, in accordance with that law of its evolution, by which, while maintaining the strictest continuity between the successive phases of its history, it adapts itself with more or less promptness to the requirements of the times, has lately instituted a course of Experimental Physics. – James Clerk Maxwell • There is a higher law than the Constitution. – William H. Seward • There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish. – Alfred Adler • There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity – the law of nature and of nations. – Edmund Burke • There is no contradiction between effective law enforcement and respect for civil and human rights. – Dorothy Height • There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics. – Richard P. Feynman • There is nothing which Nature so clearly reveals, and upon which science so strongly insists, as the universal reign of law, absolute, universal, invariable law… Not one jot or tittle of the laws of Nature are unfulfilled. I do not believe it is possible to state this fact too strongly… Everything happens according to law, and, since law is the expression of Divine will, everything happens according to Divine will, i.e. is in some sense ordained, decreed. – Joseph LeConte • There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time. – Napoleon Bonaparte • There is so much each one of us can do to make a difference. We are at a dangerous juncture in the history of mankind. … We need to defend our principles and values, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of international law. If we don’t our world will further descend into a state of chaos. – Bianca Jagger • Till facts are grouped & called there can be no prediction. The only advantage of discovering laws is to foretell what will happen & to see bearing of scattered facts. – Charles Darwin • ‘Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth. Those laws do not stop where our eyes lose them, but push the same geometry and chemistry up into the invisible plane of social and rational life, so that, look where we will, in a boy’s game, or in the strifes of races, a perfect reaction, a perpetual judgment keeps watch and ward. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • To give a causal explanation of an event means to deduce a statement which describes it, using as premises of the deduction one or more universal laws, together with certain singular statements, the initial conditions … We have thus two different kinds of statement, both of which are necessary ingredients of a complete causal explanation. – Karl Popper • To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. – George Boole • Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within. – Immanuel Kant • Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime. – Lucretius • Useless laws weaken the necessary laws. – Baron de Montesquieu • We must be governed by the force of law, not by the law of force. – William Sloane Coffin • We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror. – William Shakespeare • We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. – Ronald Reagan • We need safe communities that are free from methamphetamine and a federal commitment to stand next to state leadership and law enforcement in the fight against this epidemic. – Rick Larsen • What chemists took from Dalton was not new experimental laws but a new way of practicing chemistry (he himself called it the ‘new system of chemical philosophy’), and this proved so rapidly fruitful that only a few of the older chemists in France and Britain were able to resist it. – Thomas Kuhn • What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn’t prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary. – Stephen Hawking • When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken. – Benjamin Disraeli • When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive. – Miguel de Cervantes • When we live without listening to the timing of things, when we live and work in twenty-four-hour shifts without rest – we are on war time, mobilized for battle. Yes, we are strong and capable people, we can work without stopping, faster and faster, electric lights making artificial day so the whole machine can labor without ceasing. But remember: No living thing lives like this. There are greater rhythms, seasons and hormonal cycles and sunsets and moonrises and great movements of seas and stars. We are part of the creation story, subject to all its laws and rhythms. – Wayne Muller • Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. – Robert Kennedy • Where there’s no law, there’s no bread. – Benjamin Franklin • Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.- Mahatma Gandhi • Whether moral and social phenomena are really exceptions to the general certainty and uniformity of the course of nature; and how far the methods, by which so many of the laws of the physical world have been numbered among truths irrevocably acquired and universally assented to, can be made instrumental to the gradual formation of a similar body of received doctrine in moral and political science. – John Stuart Mill • Wise men have tried to understand our state of being, by grasping at its stars, or its arts, or its economics. But, if there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere. – Charles Fort • Without the discovery of uniformities there can be no concepts, no classifications, no formulations, no principles, no laws; and without these no science can exist. – Clyde Kluckhohn • You cannot make men good by law. – C.

Donald Trump’s ‘party of health care’ has spent a decade failing to repeal and replace Obamacare

New Post has been published on https://languageguideto.com/awesome/donald-trumps-party-of-health-care-has-spent-a-decade-failing-to-repeal-and-replace-obamacare/

Donald Trump’s ‘party of health care’ has spent a decade failing to repeal and replace Obamacare

After a bruising midterm election in which widespread insecurity over the future of health care helped pace extraordinary gains for Democrat, allowing them to retake the House of Representatives, President Donald Trump has decided to re-up this failed strategy.

This week, the White House let it be known that the administration would not defend the Affordable Care Act in a case that could end in the wholesale invalidation of the Obama-era health care reform law. Such a result would cause no end of chaos, beginning with the prospect of tens of millions of Americans losing their current health insurance schemes. Nevertheless, Trump carried exuberant confidence, declaring that he would build the GOP the” party of health care .”

A strong pledge, indeed. But the idea that the GOP could ever be “the party of health care” is something of a stretch.

The problem that Republican lawmakers refuse to confront is that their own doctrines are misaligned with the desires of the American people. Most Americans, including die-hard members of the GOP base, favor their health care to be stable and affordable, with ready access and no surprise expenses. Most Republican health care proposals, on the other hand, posture health care as the hard-won privilege of those who build the correct moral choices in the Randian free market.

The idea that health care might be a human right is categorically repudiated; health care models proven to produce better outcomes through some measure of government intervention in the marketplace come in for similar chastisement as an un-American brand of socialism — whether it’s a wholesale single-payer scheme that would eliminate the need for private health insurance, or a more modest proposal to allow the government to option to bargain for lower narcotic costs.

What will happen if the Trump administration wins the lawsuit to repeal Obamacare?

Because these two points of view are impossible to reconcile, the GOP can never genuinely replace Obamacare with a bill that manages to achieve the same basic benchmarks for health care access and premium cost.

As a outcome, Republican alternatives to Obamacare tend to be at their best when they are in a liminal nation between being and nothingness. Once loosed from their Schrodinger’s box, exposure to the real world causes these bills to be disclosed as paradoxical scam. And lest you think this quantum mechanics metaphor is inapt, let’s recall that the GOP literally stashed one of its health care proposals in a basement hidey-hole, refusing to even let its own members look upon it.

But even a rudimentary recollection of the GOP’s recent history renders such metaphors unnecessary. In the activities of the decade since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have been trapped in a cycle of proposing alternative bills that then never arrive, after which the party, stricken with criticism over their inactivity, begins the process anew. It has always been this style, and there is no reason to believe this is ever going to change. But let’s go to the tape.

GOP political consultant Karl Rove, 2009:” In politics, you can’t beat something with nothing, so it is critical that the GOP offers an alternative to President Barack Obama’s government-run monstrosity .”

In 2009, as Democrat began to assemble the ideas that would, after much intra-party wrangling, lead to the Affordable Care Act, Republicans were still attempting to gin up alternative methods out of the remains of the scheme Sen. John McCain( R-AZ) put forward on the stump. While it may have been unjust to expect much more than policy protoplasm from the GOP so early in Obama’s first term, early signs suggested that Republican legislators were going to struggle to get on the same page.

In May, Sens. Tom Coburn( R-OK) and Richard Burr( R-NC ), together with Reps. Paul Ryan( R-WI) and Devin Nunes( R-CA ), introduced the Patient’s Choice Act, which like Obamacare had Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts reform as an obvious antecedent. A month later, Reps. Eric Cantor( R-VA) and Dave Camp( R-MI) hurled together their own scheme, which was termed a” four-page exercise in public relations” by one observer. In July, Rep. Tom Price( R-GA) put forth the” Empower Patients First Act ,” which such a close similarity to other Republican bills that it caused some to wonder what was so markedly wrong about its predecessors that it needed to be created in the first place. Finally, in November, Rep. John Boehner( R-OH) offered an” Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute” to the emerging Democratic health care reform bill.

Nothing came of any of these early efforts. The CBO made mincemeat of Boehner’s amendment. The Patient Choice Act was referred to committee and never emerged. There was an” Improving Health Care For All Americans Act” and an” Empowering Patients First Act ,” both of which came to naught. As Sen. Max Baucus( D-MT) famously quipped,” I started reading a couple, three, of the Republican schemes, but frankly, there’s only so much time in the day .” Many of these initial ideas went on to serve as the recombinant DNA of future Republican failures.

American Spectator columnist Fred Barnes, 2010:” Republican … ought to go beyond advocating repeal of Obamacare, tell voters what they’d replace it with, and explain the benefits.”

As 2010 got underway, and the Democrats’ bill continued to draw inspiration from Mitt Romney, the GOP’s alternatives sought refuge in the minimal. The Weekly Standard offered a single-page alternative to Obamacare called ” The Small Bill” that never genuinely garnered much attention beyond its own masthead. Meanwhile, the White House’s first great efforts to bridge the partisan divide was met by the GOP offering” a blank sheet of paper” as a counter-proposal. As if to underscore the GOP’s nihilist position, Sen. Bob Bennett( R-UT) was defeated in the second round of balloting at his state’s Republican convention for the crime of working productively on a bipartisan alternative with Sen. Ron Wyden( D-OR ).

But on March 23, 2010, the GOP watched as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became the law of the land. Repealing Obamacare thus became the order of the day and Republican rapidly got back to the process of throwing bill after bill at the wall to see if any might stick. Rep. Paul Broun( R-GA) offered up the” Repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 ,” as his fellow House colleagues generated a parallel bill that would do basically the same thing but with an even longer name. Both bills went to committee and never returned.

Hope for the GOP nevertheless arrived in November with the election of a new Republican majority in the House.

Weekly Standard contributor Jeffrey Anderson, 2011: “[ Republican] need to show the American people that the choice is not between Obamacare and nothing. They need to provide a meaningful, sensible alternative to Obamacare’s comprehensive fails .”

In March of 2011, the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein declared that it was ” put up or shut up period for Republicans ,” who, in his estimation,” managed to make it through the health-care debate without offering serious answers of their own, and — perhaps more impressive — through the election by promising to tell us their solutions after they’d won .” This earned him the ire of his conservative colleague, Jennifer Rubin, who accused Klein of” feigning there is no alternative to the deeply flawed Obamacare .”

This was the first instance of what would soon become a pattern, in which failed Obamacare alternatives led to conservative pundits to order Republican back to the drawing board. This would lead liberal pundits to remark about the paucity of Republican ideas, which in turn would inspire conservative critics to lambaste their lefty counterparts for failing to note all of the ideas that had failed in the first place.

The obvious route of breaking the cycle was, of course, to simply come up with a plan and stick with it. This proved to be so difficult that talk of replacing Obamacare actually began to fade. As Politico reported in July:” When they took control of the House, Republicans could scarcely stop talking about their plans to’ repeal and replace’ the health care reform statute. Six months later, they hardly talk publicly about those schemes at all .”

Romney health care adviser Avik Roy, 2012:” Conservatives are sorely mistaken if they believe that they can continue to campaign against Obamacare, without offering their own strategy for building health care more affordable for American households and the federal treasury .”

In January of 2012, with the health care law hanging in the balance thanks to a looming Supreme Court case, the Hill reported that�� House Republican will be ready with a plan to replace President Obama’s healthcare law once the Supreme Court determines the law’s fate this summer” — and that an alternative to Obamacare would be ready to go no matter how the Roberts court ultimately ruled.

As you might expect, the Hill would subsequently report in May that” Republicans might not offer a comprehensive plan to replace President Obama’s healthcare law if the Supreme court strikes it down this summer .” In fact, in July, Cantor would tell NBC News’ Tom Brokaw that Republicans were merely preparing “to begin work” on the bill.

Weeks later, the Los Angeles Times would report that Republicans had” all but given up pushing alternatives” to Obamacare.

Washington Examiner contributor Mona Charen, 2013:” As Obamacare’s rising costs and constricted selections alienate the American people, Republicans must be prepared with alternative methods that is market-oriented, assembled and on the launchpad.”

Correctly predicting that the Obama administration’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s country marketplaces would be a fraught affair, Ryan would make an attempt to reboot the repeal-and-replace endeavor, telling the attendees of the Wisconsin state GOP convention,” This is the moment that we have to offer them real hope and give them real alternatives .” Price would answer the call and offer up another replacement bill, the” Empowering Patients First Act of 2013 .” Like so many other bills, its short life ended after it was referred to committee.

Nevertheless, members of the GOP attempted to renew their vows. Rep. Kevin Brady( R-TX) would tell Newsmax that the party would definitely” plan to have an alternative to Obamacare ready by this autumn .” Indeed, the Republican Study Committee would offer up the” American Health Care Reform Act of 2013 ,” which ThinkProgress described as a grab bag of health care ideas that the GOP had been proposing” since at the least 2007.” Like so many other GOP alternatives, this bill would also slip into the afterlife of committee limbo.

Price would tell Fox News that the Republican would definitely” bring forth a bill” to” unite Republican around health care issues” sometime after the new year because, as he said,” You can’t beat something with nothing .”

Karl Rove, 2014:” Republicans can easily pick[ Obamacare] apart, but they won’t win over voters without their own ideas .”

True to their word, Senate Republican unveiled the” Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment Act” not soon after the start of the new year. And true to form, wrote Jonathan Chait,” Within hours of the new plan coming into contact with political reality, things began to fall apart ,” as its authors realized that actually attempting to fabricate a funding mechanism for covering the uninsured invited political attacks. Once that became apparent, the authors” changed the language … insulating them from political assaults, but also neutering[ the proposal’s] value .”

By April, it was reported that the roll-out of the Republican alternative would be delayed once again. The Republican Study Committee briefly attempted to mount a campaign for Rep. Phil Roe’s( R-TN)” American Health Care Reform Act of 2013″( also known as HR 3121 ), going so far as to wear lapel pins that read” HR 3121, There’s A Better Way .” The whereabouts of those lapel pins has been lost to history, but HR 3121 died in committee.

In June, Cantor, through a spokesperson, reaffirmed that he was continuing” to work towards bold legislative solutions to replace Obamacare .” Weeks subsequently, Cantor lost his primary election to David Brat.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker( R ), 2015: “We must repeal Obamacare … but we can’t be brought to an end. The president’s policies must be replaced with a scheme that will send power back to people and the states.”

With Obamacare once again in the crosshairs of the Supreme court — this time in the King v. Burwell case — Republican lawmakers repeated their pledges to have an alternative ready to go no matter how the matter was resolved. Committees received instructions, task forces were enjoined, and the result was an” outline of a plan” cobbled together by a trio of Republican senators which would be forced to” compete with with several other replacing options .”

By the time the Supreme Court began hearing the oral debates in King, GOP lawmakers had not yet mapped out their route to a replacement. Nonetheless, the New York Times declared that “the search for a replacing by Republican lawmakers” was now, in its seventh year,” eventually gaining momentum.” And the Senate’s budget set an end of July deadline for the replacing bill.

But when July rolled around, the same old inactivity and excuses returned. Politico reported that” Republican lawmakers … say that the deadline doesn’t really mean anything .”

” It’s not a hard and fast deadline, ” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy( R-CA) insisted, adding, “I don’t think there’s a reason why we have to hurry.”

Indeed, they did not hurry. And so in December, House Speaker Ryan announced,” We think this problem is so urgent that next year, we are going to unveil a plan to replace every word of Obamacare .” Days afterwards, Ryan added a proviso :~ ATAGEND” I don’t have an exact timeline .”

Rep. Fred Upton( R-MI ), 2016:” Dedicate us a little time, another month or so…I think we’ll be pretty close to a Republican alternative .”

In January of 2016, Fox News reported on a major breakthrough, in which the GOP-led Congress” within hours of reconvening” was going to pass a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare in the House, which, once combined with its Senate equivalent, would” send the measure to President Obama, daring him to veto it .”

Obama vetoed it. The fact that the repeal and replace measure was combined with another measure that would end funding for Schemed Parenthood raised mistrusts that perhaps the proposal was nothing more than veto bait all along.

Nevertheless, Republican lawmakers rededicated themselves to a more sincere effort to create an Obamacare replacement. With the heat of the presidential campaign season providing incentives of its own, Ryan vowed that he would come through with a proposal even if the gaggle of GOP nominees failed to do so. But by June, as Donald Trump procured the GOP presidential nomination, the best Republican lawmakers had at hand was” a white paper that is less detailed than legislation would be .” And so the task get handed off to Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence.

“Plans you don’t even know about are going to be devised ,” Trump promised.

Sen. Bob Corker( R-TN ), 2017:” To be honest, there’s not any real discussion taking place right now .”

With the inauguration of Trump, GOP lawmakers — occupying consolidated majorities in both houses of Congress — were finally on the glide path to repealing and replacing Obamacare. At least, that’s probably what most people guessed the Trump presidency was going to play out. In practice, however, owning all of the veto phases didn’t enable the GOP to either repeal or replace Obamacare. Rather, it only illuminated internal divisions and intra-party dysfunction that the president absence the mental fortitude or the temperament to alleviate. Throughout Trump’s first spring in office, Republican were seemingly at one another’s throats more often than they were at the task of passing their long-promised Obamacare replacement.

House Republican managed to narrowly pass the American Health Care Act by a 217 -2 14 vote, prompting a Rose Garden celebration in which Trump expressed confidence that passing the Senate would be a mere formality.

Instead, all of the familiar patterns returned. The Senate missed its self-imposed July 4 deadline. The CBO filleted the bill — noting that it would leave 22 million people uninsured as a result of its passage. Revises and horse-trading failed to improve matters. In the end, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s proposed” skinny repeal” was the last vestige of the effort left alive — and McCain, who had been the deciding vote in allowing the matter to come to the Senate floor in the first place, cast the vote that killed the effort. A subsequently, even more last-ditch effort to revive the dead measure floated by Sens. Lindsey Graham( R-SC) and Bill Cassidy( R-LA) would similarly fail.

Taken as a whole, it’s hard to ascribed the “party of health care” moniker to a party that can’t seem to coalesce around a plan on most days, let alone pass a plan when consensus is achieved — even with full congressional majorities and the presidency in hand.

Despite this, some Republicans remain cheerful and optimistic even after Trump’s decision to throw everybody’s health insurance into arrears. As Graham enthused,” This is sort of like a new lease on life … Obamacare has failed and it’s not going to work … we have done enough to go after Obamacare, but not enough to replace it .”

” If we don’t have a proposal on health care then that is a mistake going into 2020 ,” he added.

Sounds awfully familiar.
