Twenty years is the time appr apprenticeship which a lawyer serves must serve
before he is converted sets up into a sage: twenty years is the time
he is to thus employing himself about the ends of justice. But of
every twenty years thus employed about the ends of justice, if any
part is employed in the endeavour to fulfill them, at least an equal
part at least must have been employed in the endeavour to disfulfill
them. In truth more than an equal part: for the greater the difficulty
the greater the exertion time and labour requisite to surmount it: and again,
the greater the difficulty, the greater the glory, to say nothing not to speak of the
pay: and the greater the glory the greater the pleasure: the greater the
pleasure or prospect the greater the exertion to which it gives birth.

The light lump of reason shines of itself is kept burning in mans bosom by the breath of nature: it requires labour no small labour is necessary to put it
out or smother it.

Twenty years then of a sage's apprenticeship are employed about
injustice, some of them in fighting combating it, more of them in helping it:
set down all the whole twenty, as if employed in fighting combating it.
