Catherine the Great Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Emperor of All Russia
Life: May 2, 1729 - November 17, 1796
Birthday: May 2
Death: November 17
The laws ought to be so framed as to secure the safety of every citizen as much as possible. ... Political liberty does not consist in the notion that a man may do whatever he pleases; liberty is the right to do whatsoever the laws allow. ... The equality of the citizens consists in that they should all be subject to the same laws.
