- Adam Clayton

About this Quote

This quote by Adam Clayton suggests that a person's respect for law and order is directly proportional to the amount of money they make. Simply put, the more money a person earns, the more likely they are to appreciate the order. This might be because individuals with greater earnings are most likely to be able to afford the repercussions of breaking the law, or since they have more to lose if they do not abide by the law. It might also be because individuals with greater incomes are most likely to be educated on the significance of following the law and respecting the legal system. Ultimately, this quote suggests that a person's regard for law and order is mostly identified by their financial situation.
