This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast—man's laws, not God's—and if you cut them down . . . d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.So spoke Paul Scofield's Sir Thomas Moore in A Man For All Seasons.

The answer to that question, for most people, is, Of course not.
