Legal Practice/england From Henry II

Famous quotes containing the words legal, practice, england and/or henry:

    We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.
    Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)

    If you leave your work for one day, you’ll be out of practice for three.
    Chinese proverb.

    To England will I steal, and there I’ll steal.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action; give them more and it may become injurious. One knows people who are as heavy and stupid from undigested learning as other are from over-fulness of meat and drink.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
