Quotation #40832 from Michael Moncur's (Cynical) Quotations:

Nothing surely is as potent as a law that may not be disobeyed. It has the force of the water drop that hollows the stone. A small dainty task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.
Anthony Trollope, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011
English novelist (1815 - 1882)
