"At first, laws evolved out of religious doctrines.……" — Leon Bourgeois
"At first, laws evolved out of religious doctrines. It followed that they were recognized only when advantageous to those who practiced the same religion and who appeared equals under the protection of the same gods. For the members of all other cults, there was neither law nor mercy."
