It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
Jurors want courtroom lawyers to have some compassion and be nice.
A good and faithful judge ever prefers the honorable to the expedient.
Who does not delight in oratory? How we gather to hear even an ordinary speaker! How often is a jury swayed and controlled by the appeals of counsel!

Judges have to have the humility to recognize that they operate within a system of precedent, shaped by other judges equally striving to live up to the judicial oath.
I judge people based on their capability, honesty, and merit.
Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They're looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are.
