in law school I heard Brian Stevens and speak and the he said something very important

to my graduating class in law school he said go back and look at the essay you wrote

remember why you ended law school and I remembered how the first year of law

that tiny little manousheh and thinking like a lawyer that I forgot that what I really wanted to see was

Justice I wanted to be wanted to do the only thing that really mattered in this world which is to do right by other people

long as most men are honest corruption is twice vicious it hurts men and it undermines their fundamental

as a single man may try any unjustifiable barriers against his efforts is a barrier against

only a waist but it's evil because it holds out a for a false hope President Kennedy said our

men and a man could be as big as he wants no problem of human Destiny is beyond human beings
