“Cows in India occupy the same position in society as women did in England before they got the vote. Woman was revered but not encouraged. Her life was one long obstacle race owing to the anxiety of man to put pedestals at her feet. While she was falling over the pedestals she was soothingly told that she must occupy a Place Apart - and indeed, so far Apart did her place prove to be that it was practically out of earshot. The cow in India finds her position equally lofty and tiresome. You practically never see a happy cow in India.” MenLongFallRaceFeetPositionProveAnxietyVoteIndiaEnglandObstaclesCowsLoftyPedestalOwingTiresome Author:Stella Benson

“The lawyers have escaped most criticism [and undeservedly so]. The tax shelters [were approved by lawyers, who got paid huge commissions to do so] and every miscreant had a high-falutin' lawyer at his side. Why don't more law firms vote with their feet and not take clients who have signs on them that say, "I'm a skunk and will be hard to handle?" I've noticed that firms that avoid trouble over long periods of time have an institutional process that tunes bad clients out. Boy, if I were running a law firm, I'd want a system like that because a lot of firms have a lot of bad clients.” IfsWantLongHardRunningLawProcessSidesBoysTroubleFeetHugePeriodsTaxesCriticismVotePaidLawyerHandleFirmTunesShelterClientsApprovedLong Periods Of TimeLaw FirmsHard To Handle Author:Charlie Munger
