Famous quotes containing the words men and/or books:
“Law grinds the poor, and rich men rule the law.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable instructor for a law-student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widner has, and has already been doing for himself, my judgment is, that he reads the books for himself without an instructor. That is precisely the way I came to the law.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
