Practice Management

Sorry, I have either been preparing for or in trial all week, and I have not posted as much as I normally do.  And then today I was mainly brain dead.

In the meantime, I do not know why, but I like to read quotes while preparing for trial.  They are quick respites that kind of break the monotony of it all, and they can be a little uplifting.

This time, I read a few from Abraham Lincoln:

"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it."

"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them."

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

"I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me."

"Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."

"A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me."

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing."

"Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old."

"Everybody likes a compliment."

And ...

"I don't like that man. I must get to know him better."
