- In the law there is a presumption of innocence. It is a legal concept, not a moral one. I defend my clients from legal guilt. Moral judgments I leave to the majestic vengeance of God.
- The ideal client is a rich man who is scared.
- If a man does a brilliant job and loses, people don't say he is brilliant. They say he lost. This is the price of reputation.
- Fighting death is selfish. It's time to let go and see what real power is.
