"It is in the gift for employing all the vicissitudes of life to one's own advantage and to that of one's craft that a large part of genius consists." »G. C. Lichtenberg
"It was the boast of Augustus that he found Rome of brick and left it of marble. But how much nobler will be the sovereign's boast when he shall have it to say that he found law... a sealed book and left it a living letter found it the patrimony of the rich and left it the inheritance of the poor found it the two-edged sword of craft and oppression and left it the staff of honesty and the shield of innocence." »Henry Brougham
