Henry Ward Beecher on Law

← Back to Henry Ward Beecher Profile
“When laws, customs, or institutions cease to be beneficial to man, they cease to be obligatory.”
Henry Ward Beecher
“Any law that takes hold of a man's daily life cannot prevail in a community, unless the vast majority of the community are actively in favor of it. The laws that are the most operative are the laws which protect life.”
Henry Ward Beecher
