• Understand that relationships are more important than contracts. Business deals are relationships between people. The signed piece of paper is important, but it's merely the result of the relationship, not the cause. If the relationship crumbles, the contract won't save you, although it could be very lucrative for your lawyer.

• If a close examination of the evidences of Christianity may be expected of one class of men more than another, it would seem incumbent upon lawyers who make the law of evidence one of our peculiar studies. Our profession leads us to explore the mazes of falsehood, to detect its artifices, to pierce its thickest veils, to follow and expose its sophistries, to compare the statements of different witnesses with severity, to discover truth and separate it from error.

• From the very beginning, our state and national constitutions and laws have laid great emphasis on procedural and substantive safeguards designed to assure fair trials before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law.

• O' beautiful for spacious skies
  But now those skies are threatening
  They're beating plowshares into swords
  For this tired old man that we elected king
  Armchair warriors often fail
  And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
  The lawyers clean up all details
  Since daddy had to lie
  But I know a place where we can go
  And wash away this sin
  We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
  And the tall grass wave in the wind
  Just lay your head back on the ground
  And let your hair spill all around me
  Offer up your best defence
  But this is the end
  This is the end of the innocence

  Don Henley
