"Keep out of Chancery. It's being ground..." - Quote by Charles Dickens
Keep out of Chancery. It's being ground to bits in a slow mill; it's being roasted at a slow fire; it's being stung to death by single bees; it's being drowned by drops; it's going mad by grains.

“If Natur has gifted a man with powers of argeyment, a man has a right to make the best of 'em, and has not a right to stand on false delicacy, and deny that he is so gifted; for that is a turning of his back on Natur, a flouting of her, a slighting of her precious caskets, and a proving of one's self to be a swine that isn't worth her scattering pearls before.”
“Home is like the ship at sea, Sailing on eternally; Oft the anchor forth we cast, But can never make it fast.”
“Sudden shifts and changes are no bad preparation for political life.”

“Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law; and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.”
“Law is nothing else but the best reason of wise men applied for ages to the transactions and business of mankind.”
