Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or lawyer:
“For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city.

“The mayor and Montaigne have always been two, with a very clear separation. For all of being a lawyer or a financier, we must not ignore the knavery there is in such callings. An honest man is not accountable for the vice or stupidity of his trade, and should not therefore refuse to practice it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
