I say that if a law student wish to acquire a vigorous and manly English style, the fit vehicle for conveying weighty thoughts to courts or juries or popular assemblages, let him give his days and nights to Robert South.
I spent two years at the Law School after graduating from the College.

I cannot state too strongly my great debt to it, and to Franklin Dexter, Simon Greenleaf, Joel Parker, and Theophilus Parsons.

I have no remorse for wasted hours during those two years.

The time in a Law School is never likely to be wasted if the youth have in him any spark of generous ambition.

He sees the practical relation of what he is learning with what he has to do in life.
