About This Quote

Edward Gibbon was a historian. His work focused on the history of the Roman Empire and its fall in following the rise and fall of the Republic. In his writings, he makes frequent reference to the idea that no law can be sacred to him but that of his nature. At its most basic, this means that nothing in life is off limits when it comes to moral decisions. This is an idea that has been repeated in many forms over the years and is one that I wholeheartedly agree with.
