Let
me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws,
nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which
no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such
thing.
But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist,
should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they
continue in force, for the sake of example they should
be religiously observed.
~ Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
