“A lawyer is sometimes required to search titles, and the client who thinks he has good right to an estate, puts the papers in his hands, and the attorney goes into the public records and finds everything right for three or four years back; but after a time he comes to a break in the title. So he finds that the man who supposed he owned it owns not an acre of the ground which belongs to someone else. I trace the title of this world from century to century until I find the whole right vested in God. Now to whom did he give it? To his own children. All are yours.” ThinkingMenWorldGivingYearsChildrenSometimesWholeHandsThreeBreakRecordsFourCenturyThis WorldHe ManPaperLawyerTitlesFour YearsClientsEstatesPapersAttorneyAcres Author:Thomas De Witt Talmage
“This is the Book. I have read the Bible through many times, and now make it a practice to read it through once every year. It is a book of all others for lawyers, as well as divines; and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought and of rules for conduct. It fits man for life--it prepares him for death.” MenYearsWellsBookPracticeRichDivineHe ManFitLawyerPity Author:Daniel Webster
“Lawyers-they get together all day and say to each other, "What can we postpone next?" The only thing they don't postpone, of course, is their bill, which arrives regularly. You've heard about the man who got the bill from his lawyer which said, "For crossing the street to speak to you and discovering it was not you, twelve dollars."” MenSaidTogetherCoursesNextSpeakHeardStreetsHe ManBillsDollarsLawyerTwelveDiscoveringCrossingsGet TogetherCrossing The Street Author:George S.

“The terrible, tragic fallacy of the last hundred years has been to think that all man's troubles are due to his environment, and that to change the man you have nothing to do but change his environment.

“If men are paid/praised more than women for the same work than it always pays to allow the man to have more freedom to pour himself into his work - think of athletes, actors over the age of 28, lawyers, accountants, college deans.” IfsThinkingMenAgeActorsPayCollegeHe ManPaidAthleteLawyerDeanAccountants Author:Julianna Baggott
