" It is impossible but in process of time, as well from the nature of things changing, as corruption of agents, abuses will grow up for which reason, the law mus be kept as a garden, with frequent digging, weeding, turning, &c. That which in one age was convenient, and perhaps necessary, in another becomes an intolerable nuisance." — Roger North.
