    The document contains several quotes about lawyers and their role in society: 1) The first quote asserts that lawyers essentially "run our civilization" as most legislators, presidents, and judges are lawyers who make, administer, and interpret the laws. There is a high concentration of power in the legal profession with little separation between different branches of government. 2) The second quote suggests that without people who break the law, there would be no need for good lawyers. 3) The third quote describes lawyers as "foot soldiers of our Constitution" who are problem solvers and help maintain order and balance in society by delineating legal boundaries.

    It is the lawyers who run our civilization for us -- our


    governments, our business, our private lives. Most legislators
    are lawyers; they make our laws. Most presidents, governors,
    commissioners, along with their advisers and brain-trusters
    are lawyers; they administer our laws. All the judges are
    lawyers; they interpret and enforce our laws. There is no
    separation of powers where the lawyers are concerned. There
    is only a concentration of all government power -- in the
    lawyers.

    If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.

    At the most pragmatic level, lawyers are society's
    professional problem solvers. Lawyers are called upon to
    make distinctions, to explain how and why cases or
    experiences are alike or different. Lawyers are expected to
    restore equilibrium, to be balancers. Every discipline, every
    profession, every job, and every calling has a cutting edge. At
    that cutting edge, lines are drawn. Lawyers and judges are
    society's ultimate line drawers. On one side of the line, the
    conduct, action, or inaction is proper; on the other side of the
    line, it is not.

    There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily


    dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what
    extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred
    upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their
    impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the
    impression is common, almost universal. Let no young man
    choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the
    popular belief. Resolve to be honest at all events; and if in
    your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve
    to be honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other
    occupation, rather than one in the choosing of which you do,
    in advance, consent to be a knave
