Happiness is a very pretty thing to feel, but very dry to talk about.

Lawyers sometimes tell the truth. They'll do anything to win a case.

Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it.

Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.

In the mind of all, fiction, in the logical sense, has been the coin of necessity;—in that of poets of amusement—in that of the priest and the lawyer of mischievous immorality in the shape of mischievous ambition,—and too often both priest and lawyer have framed or made in part this instrument.

The law of England has established trial by judge and jury in the conviction that it is the mode best calculated to ascertain the truth.

Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
