My father, a good man, told me, "Never lose your ignorance; you cannot replace it."

Fill what's empty, empty what's full, scratch where it itches.

There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets truth.

Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.

We are governed not by armies and police but by ideas.

Put a rogue in the limelight and he will act like an honest man.
