Lawyers hold that there are two kinds of particularly bad witnesses--a reluctant witness, and a too-willing witness.

If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.

Law is an ass, an idiot.

Mr Lorry asks the witness questions:

Ever been kicked?
Might have been.
Frequently? No. Ever kicked down stairs?
Decidedly not; once received a kick at the top of a staircase, and fell down stairs of his own accord.

If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.

It is easier often to forgive than to be forgiven; yet it is fatal to be willing to be forgiven by God and to be reluctant to be forgiven by men.
