An old physician, and a young lawyer. [ Proverb ]

No good lawyer ever goes to law himself. [ Italian Proverb ]

See what money can do: that can change
Men's manners; alter their conditions!
How tempestuous the slaves are without it!
O thou powerful metal! what authority
Is in thee! thou art the key to all mens
Mouths: with thee, a man may lock up the jaws
Of an informer; and without thee, he
Cannot open the lips of a lawyer. [ Richard Brome ]

The king can make a sergeant, but not a lawyer. [ Proverb ]

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Sure, he is a lawyer, for he makes indentures as he goes. [ Proverb ]

To succeed as a lawyer, a man must work like a horse and live like a hermit. [ Lord Eldon ]

A lawyer's dealings should be just and fair; Honesty shines with great advantage there. [ Cowper ]

The lawyer is a gentleman who rescues your estate from your enemies, and keeps it to himself. [ Brougham ]

Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a thing, his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business. I should not like to be merely a great doctor, a great lawyer, a great minister, a great politician - I should like to be also something of a man. [ Theodore Parker ]
