A defendant on trial for a specific crime is entitled to his day in court, not in a stadium or a city or nationwide arena. |
A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it-he merely keeps the machinery running. |
Ralph Nader (1934-) |
A trial is still an ordeal by battle. For the broadsword there is the weight of evidence; for the battle-ax the force of logic; for the sharp spear, the blazing gleam of truth; for the rapier, the quick and flashing knife of wit. |

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian |
