Louis Nizer

A beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A beautiful old lady is a work of art.

A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.

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

To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.

We are slow to believe that which if believed would hurt our feelings.

When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.

Words of comfort, skillfully administered, are the oldest therapy known to man.

Yes, there's such a thing as luck in trial law but it only comes at 3 o'clock in the morning. You'll still find me in the library looking for luck at 3 o'clock in the morning.

To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.
A fine artist is one who makes familiar things new and new things familiar.
