“There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey.”
“I rather doubt he had the sense to see the truth: that there are wounds worse than fatal, which the law's little binary distinctions-guilty/innocent, criminal/victim-cannot fathom, let alone fix. The law is a hammer, not a scalpel.”
“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. ”
“There is very little in this World somebody can't make a little worse and a little cheaper.”
“Alone-- it is wonderful how little a man can do alone! To rob a little, to hurt a little, and there is the end.”
“Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.”
