In Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons More’s beloved daughter, Margaret, and her husband, Will Roper, urge More, as Lord Chancellor, to arrest Richard Rich who later perjured himself, thus convicting More.
Margaret: Father, that man’s bad.
More : There is no law against that.
Roper: There is! God’s law!
More: Then God can arrest him. . . . The law, Roper, the law. I know what’s legal, not what’s right. And I’ll stick to what’s legal. . . . I’m not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain sailing, I can’t navigate. I’m no voyager. But in the thickets of the law, oh, there I’m a forester.
