“A precedent embalms a principle.” — Benjamin Disraeli Quote

“A precedent embalms a principle.”

“Great countries are those that produce great people.”

“We moralize among ruins.”

“I think that presidents don't give up power that has accrued to them by the precedent of previous presidents. Even when they say they would like to, I think once they get there they don't give it up.”

“If you're in the business of law you're in the business of representation and precedent.”

“Ultimately, with every film I'd done before, there was a reference. They have their own uniqueness, but there was always a precedent.”
