"He knew that justice was rarely dispensed within the four walls of the courtroom."
"We are at war. War is not on battlefield. It is in boardrooms of companies that control your United States of America."
"Walking's a great way to create. The ideas seem to fall from the sky sometimes, and the fresh air is great too."
"ISIS was not particular about how their soldiers made it to Jannah, so long as they inflicted maximum damage.."
"Patrick Henry said 'give me liberty or give me death.' I think his famous quote makes it crystal clear that the Constitutional framework of this country values liberty as an essential element of life, worth dying for. If something is worth such a sacrifice, how can the loss of it be justified for the argument that it will make us safer to give up our liberty and our civil rights? Are we to tell the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers of all the soldiers lost in foreign wars that it was all a big lie? That they died for nothing?"
"Politicians were famous for double-speak and were consummate liars. That's why George W. Bush had to be their favorite president. It's easier to commit a fraud when the actor believes his lie to the point of a conviction."
"He didn't have regular email like everyone else. He couldn't afford that digital fingerprint that the NSA, the CIA, the FBI and all the other espionage alphabeticals counted on for their privacy-bashing surveillance of the entire formerly free world."
"The Government goes after the little guys, not their own."
"I believe in some type of free market system. I just don't think you'll find an example of one completely free from government intervention."
"Now you can start paying for it with money instead of blood."
"When it came to life or death, or anything else important, the only one you could count on was yourself."
"Other people imagined demons and monsters under the bed. Robert had actually seen them."
"Destiny deals you your hand and what you do with the cards is up to you."
"It's the law, Jack. When the government breaks the law, they have to toe the line."
"I guess that makes everyone in boots on the ground a murderer."
"Are you telling me that now the government is going after attorneys? They're going to put every attorney for everyone they think is a bad guy in jail?"
"Short of a death in the family, a divorce is perhaps the most life-altering experience in human relationships."
"Emotions are reserved for juries and, in that case, a good lawyer can really lay them on when the time is right, better than the best Academy Award winning actor."
"His sense of "justice had been hard tempered by his sense of law enforcement, a perfect way to reverse the presumption of innocence."
"Most people, faced with two difficult choices, prefer not to choose at all."
"Don't you know that everything you do in life has consequences?"
"There's never a right or wrong side in a divorce case, but, given the human capacity for hate, the breakup of a legal relationship so tied to emotion often brought out the worst in people."
"Our democracy depends on an informed citizenry to survive, Your Honor. Besides the advancement of truth, science and morality in general, the freedom of the press is a backbone of democracy. It exists to keep the government transparent, and the human instruments of government honest."
"You have to remember, William. It may make the difference between freedom and half a lifetime in prison."
"Time meant opportunity. After all, what more do we have than time? We measure it arbitrarily, but as we spend it, until it's used up, it is called living."
"The Samurai lived by a code of honor, not unlike the code that you live by. It's called the Bushido. It was never written down; was always something the Samurai knew, and it was handed down from one warrior to another. One of the tenets of the code is about justice. Not the pounding of a gavel on the bench of some judge who's been appointed to pass judgment on people by some politician. No, malaka, this concept of justice is what you feel in your bones: to die when it is right and to strike when it is right."
"Seth discovered that night that he had two extra stomachs, one for vodka and one for overeating."
"Brent never trusted anyone who couldn't look him in the eye. It was a sign of dishonesty."
"Sometimes, how a person answers a question is more important than what they actually say."
"The old adage that 'there are two sides to every story' is not true. There is a story for every storyteller."
"Unfortunately, it doesn't ever really matter what the truth is. Only what they think it is."
"Even though the Judge would charge the jury that they should listen to all the evidence before they made up their minds, the chances were likely that 100% of them will have already decided if William was guilty or not before the trial was over."
"The government wields a heavy hand, which is often used in an underhanded way."
"We need to show the Congress that our Government is no longer on sale to the highest bidder. It belongs to the voters."
"If the human brain is really capable of having 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day, Brent was living proof, because he never stopped thinking."
