Quotes by Lloyd Paul Stryker

“A trial is still an ordeal by battle. For the broadsword there is the weight of evidence; for the battle-ax the force of logic; for the sharp spear, the blazing gleam of truth; for the rapier, the quick and flashing knife of wit.”

“A tendency toward enthusiasm and a chivalrous instinct have more than once been weighed as evidence of a lack of judgment.”

“Trying a case the second time is like eating yesterday mornings oatmeal.”
