Solicitors

A man must not think he can save himself the trouble of being a sensible

man and a gentleman by going to his solicitor, any more than he can get

himself a sound constitution by going to his doctor; but a solicitor can

do more to keep a tolerably well-meaning fool straight than a doctor can

do for an invalid. Money is to the solicitor what souls are to the

parson or life to the physician. He is our money-doctor.
