Doris Kearns Goodwin Quote

Lincoln warned, the lawyer must not rely on rhetorical glibness or persuasiveness alone. What is well-spoken must be yoked to what is well-thought. And such thought is the product of great labor, the drudgery of the law. Without that labor, without that drudgery, the most eloquent words lack gravity and power.
