“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.”

“The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.

Cast about and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”
