Lets those that legislate not forget, it's pretty basic…

…and has been well-settled for a very, very long time:
Juris praecepta sunt haec:

Honeste vivere
Alterum non laedere
Suum cuique tribuere
Which, though I know the Vidiot and Sailor need no translation, for the non-Latin speakers:
The precepts of the law are these:

To live honorably
To hurt nobody
To render to everyone his due
and:
Jus ex injuria non oritur
or:
Right does not rise out of wrong.
(You, kind reader, must bear in mind that, without qualifications, while I might dare to write with geniuses, as a man tightrope walking for the very first time, I've really gotta work hard to try and keep up!)
