Quotes on the Law and Lawyers #2 (Inequities of Bad Law)
When laws become inequitable, there is much to fear:
People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have must to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
–Edmund Burke (1729-1797) British political writer.
