Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or question:
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The question now is: Can we understand our stupidity? This is a test of intellect, not of character.”
—John King Fairbank (1907–1991)
