“Lawyers have an old saying: If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If the law is on your side, pound the law. If neither is on your side, pound the table.”
- Lawyers (in general...)
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
Abraham Lincoln
“When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.”
Al Gore
“Law is not a profession at all, but rather a business service station and repair shop.”
Adlai E. Stevenson
“People must help one another; it is nature's law.”
Jean de La Fontaine
“We all know here that the law is the most powerful of schools for the imagination. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth.”
Jean Giraudoux
“Laws control the lesser man... Right conduct controls the greater one.”
Mark Twain
