Tony is a lousy golfer, but that doesn't stop him from playing.
One day, on the first hole, he teed up, took a couple of practice swings, then swung in earnest
and missed the ball entirely.
He tried again and missed again.
The third time was the charm.
He swung and really missed.
"You were right," he said, taking a breather.
"This is a tough course."

During the Civil War, General Ulysses S. Grant wasn't impressed by a fellow officer,
even though it was pointed out that the other man had served in ten campaigns.
So has that mule over there, Grant countered, but he's still a jackass, isn't he?

It is lawyers who run our civilization for us, our governments, our businesses,
our private lives...
We cannot buy a home or rent an apartment,
we cannot get married or try to get divorced,
we cannot leave our property to our children without calling on the lawyers to guide us.
To guide us, incidentally, through a maze of confusing gestures and formalities
that lawyers have created...
The legal trade, in short, is nothing but a high-call racket.

Okay, Dad, I'll be good for ten dollars.
Father: Why, Son, when I was your age, I was good for nothing.
