Winston S. Churchill Quotes

King Alfred's Book Of Laws, Or Dooms, As Set Out In The Existing Laws Of Kent, Wessex, And Mercia, Attempted To Blend The Mosaic Code With Christian Principles And Old Germanic Customs. He Inverted The Golden Rule. Instead Of "Do Unto Others As You Would That They Should Do Unto You", He Adopted The Less Ambitious Principle, "What Ye Will That Other Men Should Not Do To You, That Do Ye Not To Other Men", With The Comment, "By Bearing This Precept In Mind A Judge Can Do Justice To All Men; He Needs No Other Law-books. Let Him Think Of Himself As The Plaintiff, And Consider What Judgment Would Satisfy Him." The King, In His Preamble, Explained Modestly That "I Have Not Dared To Presume To Set Down In Writing Many Laws Of My Own, For I Cannot Tell What Will Meet With The Approval Of Our Successors.
