If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law

Summary

This quote suggests that in order for society to have a genuine respect for the law, the laws themselves must be just, fair, and deserving of respect. It implies that if laws are unjust, arbitrary, or lack credibility, people will be less inclined to abide by them and instead question their legitimacy. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of not only enacting and enforcing laws, but also ensuring that they uphold ethical principles and reflect the values of the society they serve.

Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw. Men made dogs, they took wolves and gave them human things--unnecessary intelligence, names, a desire to belong, and a twitching inferiority complex.
