This review is from: Memorable Quotations: Famous Lawyers of the Past (Kindle Edition)

Aside from a few crusaders, lawyers are mostly depicted in an unflattering light as money-chasing fiends who care more about winning than getting at the truth. They're the butt of a seemingly endless supply of jokes and viewed as little more than sharks in suits. Question: Why won't sharks attack lawyers? Answer: Professional courtesy. But would you put John Adams, Clarence Darrow, John Foster Dulles, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Wolfgang Von Goethe, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, or Saint Francis de Sales in that unflattering category? After all, those illustrious men were also lawyers.

Carol Dingle's quotation book is the perfect gift for all the lawyers in your life. It includes a wonderful variety of quotes from some of the most exceptional individuals that ever lived.
