"A nation of laws, not men," indicating the actual meaning of the often half-quoted truth is along the lines of the meaning of the rule of law.
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse," indicating that when the rule of law is present (especially, the law is fundamental, and well-understood) there's no reason that one may not know/understand the law (as opposed to the opaque and enigmatic law of today.)

Talk:Diana Ross

message: Please change 'The Ross children spent considerable time with their maternal grandparents during their mother's bouts with tuberculosis.[109]' to 'Diana and her siblings spent considerable time with maternal grandparents during their mother's bouts with tuberculosis.[109]' This sentence appears in Religious views 
 after Relationships and family. There, Diana Ross' children and grandchildren have just been named. This article spans five generations, with two using the Ross surname and a third with Ross as a given name. Current use of 'Ross Children' is ambiguous, especially removed from the Early life section.
Brown, Geoff (1983). "Diana Ross ". St. Martin’s Press. ISBN 9780312199326. p. 23 indicates her parents had six children, three sons and three daughters.  Thus suggest using ‘Diane and her siblings’ rather than 'Diane and her sister' for accuracy while differentiating from ‘The Ross Children’. Presently, this article names only one sister for Diana but makes no attempt to quantify siblings. 
NOT DIRECTLY AFFECTING PROPOSED CHANGE: Given broad consensus on a Diana's 1944 birth year, this newly cited biography errs naming Diane [sic] as the 'eldest daughter'. Diana’s sister Barbara Ross-Lee was born in 1942 according to the article for this accomplished physician.  Diana has an older sister. None of this specifies birth order relative to five siblings.Wclaytong (talk) 12:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Common Lisp is NOT a object oriented language.You can do object oriented programming in Common Lisp (it even has its own set of operators for that: the Common Lisp Object System. Or you can write your own), but you don't have to, and most of the time, you won't need the extra garbage. 77.171.29.82 (talk) 23:59, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a bit confused. The argument I see here is that because one can avoid doing object oriented programming in Common Lisp, Common Lisp is not object oriented. But that applies to many languages, e.g. C++ can be used procedurally (in its C subset). There is a term in the article "pure OO languages" which is defined as languages where everything is treated consistently as an object, which clearly Common Lisp and C++ do not satisfy. But the general concepts of OO seem present in CLOS. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 01:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

text: But all values in Common Lisp are objects and instances of some class. See for example the integer class. You do not have to write your own classes, still, and you can use normal functions instead of generic functions. But all classes (including structure classes made by defstruct) can be dispatched on by generic functions. I find using classes and generic functions in Common Lisp is useful and not garbage, and certainly people do use those features of CLOS, but "the extra garbage" would not be starting that discussion on the right foot. 150.203.65.55 (talk) 11:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Late harvest wine need not be botrytized; some are dried grape wines or simply fully ripe grapes. In principle, I think it would be more pedagogical to have an "overview article" on sweet wines explaining the different methods of producing them (including ice wine and sweet fortified wine, and possibly süssreserve, although usually used for off-dry to semi-sweet wines), which is another thing than the present article on sweetness of wine. The different production methods could still justify articles of their own. Tomas e 16:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
