quote
Discourage litigation.
Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.
Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser---in fees, expenses, and waste of time.
As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.
There will still be business enough.
Never stir up litigation.
A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this.
- Abraham Lincoln (1850)
