Abraham Lincoln: "Discourage Litigation."

July 23, 2024

July 23, 2024 โ€” Stephan Kinsella reposted a great 1850's quote from Abraham Lincoln on litigation.

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)
