Edward Coke Coke Quotations

One threatens the innocent who spares the guilty.

Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions

So use your own property as not to injure that of another

Corporations cannot commit treason, nor be outlawed, nor excommunicated, for they have no souls.

Those who consent to the act and those who do it shall be equally punished.

Success in crime always invites to worse deeds

Reason is the life of the law.

Don't quote the distinction, for the honour of my lord Coke.
