"True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no picturesâ€”unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement.

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state."

-- John W. Davis
