“My
joy was boundless. I had learnt the true practice of law. I had learnt to find
out the better side of human nature and to enter men’s hearts. I had realized
that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder. The
lesson was so indelibly burnt into me that a large part of my time during the
twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in bringing about
compromises of hundreds of cases. I lost nothing thereby – not even money,
certainly not my soul.”
-
Gandhi (from his autobiography)
