• Quote by Edward Snowden

  [W]e should always make a distinction that right and wrong is a very different standard than legal and illegal. The law is no substitute for morality.

• Quote by Edward Snowden

  Laws were broken, and that's because the laws were wrong.

• Quote by Saint Augustine of Hippo^!

  An unjust law is no law at all

• Quote by Martin Luther King, Junior

  One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

• Quote by Martin Luther King, Junior

  [A]n individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
