Additional quotes by John Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge

As a lawyer I am before and above all things for the supremacy of law.

We must not be guilty of taking the law into our own hands, and converting it from what it really is to what we think it ought to be.

Law grows, and though the principles of law remain unchanged, yet (and it is one of the advantages of the common law) their application is to be changed with the changing circumstances of the times. Some persons may call this retrogression, I call it progression of human opinion.
