The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance.

The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading in joy or sorrow, health or illness.

Holbrook Jackson

Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, be the life you are, and see what you find out for yourself.

Ezra Pound

Idealisme adalah kemewahan terakhir yang hanya dimiliki oleh pemuda.

Miguel de Cervantes

I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.

Alan Dershowitz

Lawyers are like rhinoceroses: thick skinned, short-sighted, and always ready to charge.

David Mellor

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a little bit extra.

Kent Healy

Fortune has something of the nature of a woman. If she is too intensely wooed, she commonly goes the further away.

Charles V
