Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law  (Unjust Law Quotes) One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust ... is in reality expressing the highest respect for law ... We will not obey your evil laws.  (Unjust Law Quotes) The rules and principles of case law have never been treated as final truths but as working hypotheses, continually retested in those great laboratories of the law, the courts of justice. Every new case is an experiment, and if the accepted rule which seems applicable yields a result which is felt to be unjust, the rule is reconsidered  (Unjust Law Quotes) I submit that an 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  (Unjust Law Quotes) A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law  (Unjust Law Quotes) An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Now the law of nonviolence says that violence should be resisted not by counter-violence but by nonviolence. This I do by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment  (Unjust Law Quotes) A unjust law, is no law at all  (Unjust Law Quotes) It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all  (Unjust Law Quotes) One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws  (Unjust Law Quotes) Unjust laws aren’t laws at all  (Unjust Law Quotes) Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them?  (Unjust Law Quotes) There are unjust laws as there are unjust men  (Unjust Law Quotes) There is no justice in following unjust laws  (Unjust Law Quotes) An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so  (Unjust Law Quotes) As long as the superstition that people should obey unjust laws exists, so long will slavery exist  (Unjust Law Quotes) Again, a law may be both constitutional and expedient, and yet may be administered in an unjust and unfair way  (Unjust Law Quotes) Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all  (Unjust Law Quotes) Of the unjust rights which in virtue of this ceremony an iniquitous law gives me over the person and property of another, I cannot legally, but I can morally, divest myself  (Unjust Law Quotes) Proscription, martial law, the billeting of the rude troops, the tax collector, the unjust judge, anything at all, is sweeter than responsibility  (Unjust Law Quotes) One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws  (Unjust Law Quotes) One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly,... And with a willingness to accept the penalty  (Unjust Law Quotes) When I refuse to obey an unjust law, I do not contest the right of the majority to command, but I simply appeal from the sovereignty of the people to the sovereignty of mankind  (Unjust Law Quotes) One who breaks an unjust 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  (Unjust Law Quotes) Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation - in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States  (Unjust Law Quotes) Those who deny the right of a jury to protect an individual in resisting an unjust law of the government, deny him all defence whatsoever against oppression  (Unjust Law Quotes) There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture  (Unjust Law Quotes) Unjust laws have to be fought ideologically; they cannot be fought or corrected by means of mere disobedience and futile martyrdom  (Unjust Law Quotes) In any civilized society, it is every citizen’s responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen’s responsibility to disobey unjust laws  (Unjust Law Quotes) 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?  (Unjust Law Quotes) One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust... is in reality expressing the highest respect for law... We will not obey your evil laws  (Unjust Law Quotes)
