"Possession is nine tenths of the law."
and
"Love is the law, love under will."

10 x Possession = 9 x Law & Will = Law x Love
3.
10 x Possession Will
Law = --------------- & Love = ----
9 Law
4. Therefore,
Will
Love = -------------------

5. Which can be simplified to:
9 x Will
Love = ---------------
10 x Possession
