Edward Coke

The King himself should be under no man, but under God and the Law.

For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique tutissimum refugium [and one's home is the safest refuge to everyone].

There be three kinds of unhappie men. 1. Qui scit & non docet, Hee that hath knowledge and teacheth not. 2. Qui docet & non vivit, He that teacheth, and liveth not thereafter. 3. Qui nescit, & non interrogat, He that knoweth not, and doth not enquire to understand.

No man can be a compleat Lawyer by universalitie of knowledge without experience in particular cases, nor by bare experience without universalitie of knowledge; he must be both speculative & active, for the science of the laws, I assure you, must joyne hands with experience.

It is the worst oppression, that is done by colour of justice

So as grave and learned men may doubt, without any imputation to them; for the most learned doubteth most, and the more ignorant for the most part are the more bold and peremptory.

Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason - the law which is perfection of reason.

Those who consent to the act and those who do it shall be equally punished.

The agreement of the parties cannot make that good which the law maketh void.

So use your own property as not to injure that of another

The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose.
