“Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans.
Spare their women for Thy Sake,

We will pardon Thy Mistake.

Don’t let anyone bomb me.”

“As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
