William Scott

Quotes

• “A dinner lubricates business.”
• “In the first place, it is not improper to observe, that the law of cases of necessity is not likely to be well furnished with precise rules; necessity creates the law, it supersedes rules; and whatever is reasonable and just in such cases, is likewise legal; it is not to be considered as matter of surprise, therefore, if much instituted rule is not to be found on such subjects.”
• “Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.”
• “The elegant simplicity of the three per cents.”
