Famous quotes containing the words lawyers and/or committee:
“I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A committee is an animal with four back legs.”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)
