Quote by Henry David Thoreau
Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?
Summary
This quote poses the question of how one should respond to unjust laws. The options presented are to either passively obey them, actively work to change them and continue to obey, or to immediately disobey them. It challenges individuals to consider whether blind obedience is acceptable or if it is necessary to challenge and strive for change in the face of an unjust legal system.
