    Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That’s why it’s so hard.

    The best I can ever hope to do in every aspect of my work with words is to go as deep and far as I can in “the art of thinking” as defined by James Boswell in his assessment of Samuel Johnson: The art of using his mind; a certain continual power of seizing the useful substance of all he knew, and exhibiting it in a clear and forcible manner, to the extent that knowledge was in him, true, evident, and actual wisdom.

  • William A. Rusher

    By far the most useful and generally applicable variant of the species, however, is the lawyer. He is the lubricant of society’s essential machinery, making sure as far as possible that its parts mesh rather than clash. Or, to vary the metaphor, he is a sort of universal interpreter, making the words of one speaker intelligible to another.

    Words are the only things that last forever.

  • Thomas Jefferson

    The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.
