Louis Nizer quotes about
expression good satellite thorough trial
Preparation is the be-all of good trial work. Everything else-felicity of expression, improvisational brilliance-is a satellite around the sun. Thorough preparation is that sun.

I know of no higher fortitude than stubborness in the face of overwhelming odds.

skills differences people
Many people with different backgrounds, cultures, languages, and creeds combine to make a nation. But that nation is greater than the sum total of the individual skills and talents of its people. Something more grows out of their unity than can be calculated by adding the assets of individual contributions. That intangible additional quantity is often due to the differences which make the texture of the nation rich. Therefore, we must never wipe out or deride the differences amongst us-for where there is no difference, there is only indifference.
expression preparation trials
Preparation is the be-all of good trial work. Everything else - felicity of expression, improvisational brilliance - is a satellite around the sun. Thorough preparation is that sun.
fishing law water
In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
clever insult taunting
A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults.
