“There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal. Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief–resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other occupation, rather than one in the choosing of which you do, in advance, consent to be a knave.”

Stephon Marbury: Jackass
So, Stephon Marbury thinks dog fighting is a sport??
“You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It’s just behind closed doors.”
Okay, Stephon. The next time the Knicks lose, would you prefer to be shot, drowned, set on fire, or electrocuted?
