Famous sayings and aphorisms about law
1, a famous legal saying mentioned in the Common Law of Holmes, USA:

The purpose of legal research is a prediction, that is, to predict the influence of public power through the instrumental activities of the court.

2, French Rousseau in the "social contract theory" mentioned in the legal quotes:

The purpose of social treaties is to protect the contracting parties. To achieve the goal, we must use means, and these means are inseparable from some risks and even some sacrifices. If a person relies on others to save his own life, he will also give his own life when others' lives need to be protected.

In addition, citizens themselves should not judge what kind of risks the law requires them to take. When the monarch said to him, "You will die for your country," he should die. Because of this, he has always enjoyed a sense of security, so that his life is not a simple gift from nature, but a conditional gift from the country.

You planted a bomb in our house and threatened our children. You let thugs in Klan pointy hats into our community. You beat us by some roadside and beat us half to death. However, we still love you.
