A statesman of the school of sound common sense, and a philanthropist of the most practical type, a patriot without a superior – his monument is a country preserved. – C.S. Harrington
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser – in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough. – Abraham Lincoln
