" It is impossible but in process of time, as well from the nature of things change
ing, as corruption of agents, abuses will grow up: for which reason, the law muf
be kept as a garden, with frequent digging, weeding, turning, &c. That which in
one age was convenient, and perhaps necesary, in another becomes an intolerable
nuisance.” – ROGER NORTH.
