Quote by Herschel Hobbs
The nine-tenths prove man's love, but the one-tenth tests man's legal obedience.
Summary
This quote suggests that the majority of one's actions and behavior can demonstrate their capacity for love and moral character. However, it emphasizes that the true measure of a person's compliance with laws and regulations, their respect for authority and societal norms can be seen in the remaining fraction. It implies that while love may be a prevailing attribute, obedience to legal and institutional order is equally essential for evaluating one's ethical disposition and overall character.
