More From Thomas Jefferson

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.
Book Ignorance Reality
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. in this sense all beings have their laws: the deity his laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.
God Nature Science
Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the giver and bound to catch the spirit of the giver. like produces like. grace makes you gracious, the giver makes you give.
Giving Forever Grace

I mean, i am into nature and seeing whales. i went whale-watching, and i was really looking forward to that, but when you see it on tv and you see other programs do it, you're seeing close-ups of these massive creatures, and the music that's added gives you a certain feeling.
