The instinct of interest is the universal instinct of mankind.
The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science.
Every tub must stand upon its bottom.
The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it.
You are as welcome as the flowers in May.
Good laws are the offspring of bad actions.
