""Lawyers Are": Those whose interests and abilities..." - Quote by Jonathan Swift

“Pride, ill nature, and want of sense are the three great sources of ill manners; without some one of these defects, no man will behave himself ill for want of experience, or what, in the language of fools, is called knowing the world.”

“Nothing more unqualified the man to act with prudence than a misfortune that is attended with shame and guilt.”

“The preaching of divines helps to preserve well-inclined men in the course of virtue, but seldom or ever reclaims the vicious.”

“Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.”

“Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.”

“There are seven natural openings in the head and body. A lawyer is the only human being with eight. The extra one is a slot to store money in, should his bank be unable to hold all of it.”

“I considered 4 of these bills [of the revised code of Virginia] as forming a system by which every fibre would be eradicated of antient or future aristocracy; and a foundation laid for a government truly republican.”

“May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.”

“The purpose of criminal law is to punish the enemies of those in power.”
