THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

... LAW

“Law is not an abstract system of precepts and concepts neatly expounded in a lecture, but also an attempt to find viable answers to the very real and ever changing (and perhaps disordered) problems bred by the interaction of human beings and social groups.” --Oliver Wendell Holmes

“We draw our little lines, and they are hardly down before we blur them.” --Benjamin Cardozo

“[O]ne who works over a line of cases in retrospect recognizes that something new has been created. And can it have been old at the very moment it was created?” -- Karl Llewellyn

... LIFE

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A mind once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions." --Oliver Wendell Holmes

"A problem cannot be solved by the same level of consciousness that created it." --Albert Einstein

"Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits." --Robert Louis Stevenson

"All good things are wild and free." --Henry David Thoreau

"Little by little does the trick." --Abraham Lincoln

"Those who are willing to be vulnerable move among the mysteries." --Rumi

"Dwell in possibility..." --Emily Dickinson

"I am still learning." --Michelangelo
