Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

In time of war the laws are silent.

In time of war the laws are silent.

Summary

This quote suggests that during times of war, the usual laws and regulations become ineffective or are disregarded. The focus shifts to the urgent demands of the conflict, leading to a suspension of legal and moral constraints. In these extreme situations, survival and victory take precedence, often justifying actions that would otherwise be considered unlawful or unethical. The quote speaks to the chaos and disregard for order that is often associated with war, where the normal rules governing society are set aside in favor of military objectives and the pursuit of power.

If there has been any crime, it must be prosecuted. If there has been any property of the United States illegally transferred or leased, it must be recovered. I propose to employ special counsel of high rank drawn from both political parties to bring such actions for the enforcement of the law. Counsel will be instructed to prosecute these cases in the courts so that if there is any guilt it will be punished; if there is any civil liability it will be enforced; if there is any fraud it will be revealed; and if there are any contracts which are illegal they will be canceled. Every law will be enforced. And every right of the people and the Government will be protected.

If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow, your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club, so that when they see you doing this, they will take you away for a little chat.
