Positive Thought - Patriot Quote on Laws

August 22, 2007 |

 This one quote makes more sense than the volumes written on law. It should be hammered into every law student around the country. It’s brevity, clarity should be reflected in ever judge, lawyer and students in high school.

“Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure.” — Thomas Jefferson (letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823)
