Patrick O'Brian Quotes

I Do Not Say That All Lawyers Are Bad, But I Do Maintain That The General Tendency Is Bad: Standing Up In A Court For Whichever Side Has Paid You, Affecting Warmth And Conviction, And Doing Everything You Can To Win The Case, Whatever Your Private Opinion May Be, Will Soon Dull Any Fine Sense Of Honour. The Mercenary Soldier Is Not A Valued Creature, But At Least He Risks His Life, Whereas These Men Merely Risk Their Next Fee.
