“You common people of the skies,
What are you when the moon doth rise?”
—Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)

“I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.”
