Quotes

  • A dinner lubricates business.
  • In the first place, it is not improper to observe, that the law of cases of necessity is not likely to be well furnished with precise rules; necessity creates the law, it supersedes rules; and whatever is reasonable and just in such cases, is likewise legal; it is not to be considered as matter of surprise, therefore, if much instituted rule is not to be found on such subjects.
  • Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.
  • The elegant simplicity of the three per cents.
