Samuel Johnson:
The law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public

Dynamic intelligence, speculative minds, misery of pain and shared anguish prompted the search of humans for law and justice. Law has been defined in different ways by various religious leaders and prolific philosophers.
Law is an interpretative social practice that contains implicit moral principles and values. Law is related to justice, reason, human nature and ethics. The objective of law is stability, peace and tranquility of sentient beings.
Protection of wrong encourages breaking of law. One who breaks the law cannot get protection.
Laws can be made and unmade. Law must be just and fair. It is known as substantive due process doctrine. Samuel Johnson wrote that “The law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public.”
Next only to William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson is perhaps the most quoted of English writers. The latter part of the eighteenth century is often (in English-speaking countries, of course) called, simply, the Age of Johnson.
Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 [O.S. 7 September] – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and committed Tory, and has been described as “arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history.”
Law, as Samuel Johnson said, is the ultimate result of human wisdom, acting upon human experience, for the benefit of the public. What we need is justice, and not addition to a plethora of extant laws. We also need honesty of purpose on the part of those administering the law. In our country we have too many laws but very little justice. And about justice delivered by the administrators, less said the better.
Today, governments and regulatory authorities are constantly trying to catch up with changing technologies and changing society, crafting hundreds of new laws and regulations each year in a process that is frequently hasty and often freighted with political considerations.
These days, when it comes to laws and lawmaking, most people take a more cynical view, and many see laws and regulations as more flawed.
The results of this imperfect process can be cumbrous, unworkable and sometimes unfair. Fortunately, there are instances where law and regulation emerge from a more thoughtful process, producing results closer to the ideal described by Johnson. Increasingly, state governments and many international regulators, have found that the process of making laws and regulations can be informed, supported and enabled through engagement with open, rational consensus-based standards development processes.
The standards development process itself does not create legislation, but it can provide a forum for discussing ideas and exchanging information needed to define and manage a vast range of technical topics that ultimately impact the public.
Dr. Samuel Johnson, the legendary English lexicographer and man of letters was also a giant in literary history. A voluminous writer himself, Johnson is known to the world primarily through the book of another man, Scottish writer James Boswell. For two centuries, The Life of Samuel Johnson has been so popular that the words we most associate with Johnson come from the biography and not his own works. No man has ever had a deeper love of language than him. While Johnson is remembered for being a great wit and wordsmith, he was also a big, physically awkward man who could be slovenly in appearance and uncouth in language.
