“Make crime pay. Become a Lawyer.”
Will Rogers
“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
“Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.”
Charles Lamb
“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
“A group of white South Africans recently killed a black lawyer because he was black. That was wrong. They should have killed him because he was a lawyer.”
A. Whitney Brown
“Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.”
Hunter S. Thompson
“As a plaintiff's lawyer, I had always been jealous of the money that defense attorneys got from insurers to pay for mock juries. Those things are extremely expensive . . . about $30,000 to $50,000 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. If you've got a case worth $50,000 you can't afford to use it.”
