Anthony Trollope Quote

[An attorney] can find it consistent with his dignity to turn wrong into right, and right into wrong, to abet a lie, nay to create, disseminate, and with all the play of his wit, give strength to the basest of lies, on behalf of the basest of scoundrels.

The New Zealander (Oxford, 1965), p. 63. Written 1855-6, published posthumously 1965.
