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

Jeremy Bentham

The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.

Henry David Thoreau

We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.

Charles Dickens

The only way you can beat the lawyers is to die with nothing.

Will Rogers

God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.

Benjamin Franklin
