Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or troubles:
“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)
“Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
