Quote by Charles Montesquieu

Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.

Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.

Summary

This quote suggests that the presence of useless or unnecessary laws can undermine the effectiveness of the laws that are genuinely important and necessary. Useless laws can lead to a loss of respect for the legal system, as people may view them as burdensome or illogical. Consequently, when necessary laws are implemented, they may not receive the full cooperation or compliance they require. The quote implies that an excess of laws, particularly those that lack practical value or do not align with societal values, can diminish the overall impact and enforcement of the legal framework.

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no prefere

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.
