The legal profession is a business with a tremendous collection of egos. Few people who are not strong egotistically gravitate to it.

The public regards lawyers with great distrust. They think lawyers are smarter than the average guy but use their intelligence deviously. Well, they're wrong. Usually they are not smarter.

My experience is, people who retire die sooner than they should have.

In America, an acquittal doesn't mean you're innocent, it means you beat the rap. My clients lose even when they win.

Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.

Each lawyer makes somebody unhappy either by beating him, embarrassing him or tying him in knots.

Fear is something you have to throw into a corner. Constantly. Because it never goes away.
