Aloha my brothers. For those of you like me battling the awful cess pool that is Family Court, found this great quote from Abraham Lincoln.

"Discourage litigation.

Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.

Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser---in fees, expenses, and waste of time.

As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.

There will still be business enough.

Never stir up litigation.

A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this."

  • Abraham Lincoln (1850)
