| gptkbp:famousQuote |
"The truth is not always the same as the majority opinion."
"I am not a man of the people, I am a man of the law." "Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom; justice is what comes out of a courtroom." "The greatest crime is to be born a poor man." "The law is not a science, but a matter of opinion." "I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." "The law is a living thing, and it must be interpreted in the light of the times." "The law is a tool of the powerful, and it is used to oppress the weak." "I would rather be a man of conviction than a man of convenience." |
