Default Re: Need a good philosophical quote to open paper, \"What is Law?\"

[ QUOTE ]
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to steal bread...and sleep under bridges."

There's another phrase in the middle that I forget. It's by some French dude...I saw it in a book called The Curmudgeon's Companion or something like that. Damn, wish I could remember the whole thing.

The Law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich, as well as the poor, to sleep under the bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
-- Anatole France (1844-1924)
