WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/sidney-algernon/75339/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Algernon Sidney</b></a></p><blockquote>For this reason, the law is established which no passion can disturb. It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger. It is <i>mens sine affectu</i>, written reason, retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It does not enjoin that which pleases a weak, frail man; but, without any regard to persons, commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible.</blockquote><p><b>Algernon Sidney</b> (1623-1683) English politician, republican political theorist [also Sydney]<br><i>Discourses Concerning Government</i>, ch. 3, § 15 (1689)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/sidney-algernon/75339/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/sidney-algernon/7533…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=blindjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blindjustice</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dispassionate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dispassionate</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equalprotectionunderthelaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>equalprotectionunderthelaw</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equalprotection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>equalprotection</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=legalsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>legalsystem</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=rationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rationality</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=reason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reason</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=unemotional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemotional</span></a></p>
