“My joy was boundless. I had learnt the true practice of law…to find out the better side of human nature and to enter men’s hearts. I realized that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder.” — Gandhi, after his earliest success as a lawyer. He had persuaded two Indian businessmen to settle a bitter dispute out of court.

If the job of a lawyer is to enter the hearts of man, and see what lies there, and seek to unite the two.
