"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-- Calvin Coolidge
"The dream, of course, is to be called two weeks before trial to try the case...reality, however, is different. Most cases settle, and victory is not in the scathing cross, but in the tedious review of documents...for it is discovery which we do. The motions, the papers, the depositions. This is the numbing, ditch digging work that determines the winner." -- Elliot
G. Sagor, Esq.
