Litigation. n. A machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage.

-- Ambrose Bierce, “The Devil’s Dictionary” (1911)

Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess.

--Felix Frankfurter, Indianapolis v. Chase National Bank, 314 U.S. 63, 69 (1941)

Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.

--Luke 11:52 (NKJV)
