Hugo Grotius quotes
Hugo Grotius was a Dutch jurist, philosopher, and writer, often called the father of international law. His pioneering works laid the foundation for modern concepts of natural law and the rules governing war and peace. He became an enduring influence on the development of both legal and political thought worldwide. Here are 6 of his quotes:
It is no less ancient than a pestilent error wherewith many men (but they chiefly who abound in power and riches) persuade themselves, or (as I think more truly) go about to persuade, that right and wrong are distinguished not according to their own nature but by a certain vain opinion and custom of men.
