Gerry Spence quote: "The old saw that "sticks and stones can break my bones but..."
The old saw that "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never harm me" does not, in fact, hold true. Gerry Spence
Gerry Spence quote: "Is there anyone I wouldn't take as a client? Well, I'd never..."
Is there anyone I wouldn't take as a client? Well, I'd never represent a banker. Gerry Spence
Government is operated by deeply embedded, hopelessly entangled bureaus where nothing is accomplished because the function of the bureau is to intercept every living idea and smother it. Gerry Spence
