“That is a Medieval way of drawing history, in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.”

1950s, Address to the American People on the Situation in Little Rock (1957)

Original French: Mais qu’est-ce que la liberté ? Pour moi, c’est le respect de l’autre et le respect de la loi. La liberté, ce n’est pas l’anarchie.

1963, Address at Vanderbilt University

1970s, Remarks on pardoning Nixon (1974)
Context: I deeply believe in equal justice for all Americans, whatever their station or former station. The law, whether human or divine, is no respecter of persons; but the law is a respecter of reality.
The facts, as I see them, are that a former President of the United States, instead of enjoying equal treatment with any other citizen accused of violating the law, would be cruelly and excessively penalized either in preserving the presumption of his innocence or in obtaining a speedy determination of his guilt in order to repay a legal debt to society.
During this long period of delay and potential litigation, ugly passions would again be aroused. And our people would again be polarized in their opinions. And the credibility of our free institutions of government would again be challenged at home and abroad.
