It's a game. We tax lawyers teach the rich how to play it so they can stay rich-and the IRS keeps changing the rules so we can keep getting rich teaching them.

More quotes by John Grisham
More than 100 people have been sent to death row who were later exonerated because they weren't guilty or fairly tried. Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.
John Grisham
Jesus preached more and taught more about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry than he did about heaven and hell. Shouldn't that tell us something?
John Grisham
You burn a man's pickup, and he's ready for war.
John Grisham
You need some coffee, don't you? Yes, I've only had a gallon.
John Grisham
In little pockets of conversation, old men were telling stories of ancient floods. Women were talking of about how much rain there'd been in other towns -- Paragould, Lepanto, and Manila.
John Grisham
I can't change overnight into a serious literary author. You can't compare apples to oranges. William Faulkner was a great literary genius. I am not.
John Grisham
So many book sections in newspapers and magazines used to be lively and vibrant places. Now they are gone. You just don't see many reviews anymore. I can't control that, so I don't worry about it. I just try to do what I do and write books that people find every entertaining. I don't worry about the critics.
John Grisham
We cuss them because we're not good enough for them. We hate them because they wouldn't look at us, couldn't be bothered to give us an interview. I guess there's a Trent & Brent in every city, in every field. I didn't make it and I don't belong, so I'll just go through life hating them.
John Grisham
There's always such a rush to judgment. It makes a fair trial hard to get.
John Grisham
Prisons are hate factories, Pastor, and society wants more and more of them.
John Grisham
I don't want to force my politics on my readers.
John Grisham
When witnesses concoct lies, they often miss the obvious.
John Grisham
I didn't dare think of the future the past was still happening.
John Grisham
I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right.
John Grisham
judge not that ye be not judged
John Grisham
I guess under the right circumstances, a man will do just about anything.
John Grisham
Very few writers understand the complex history and maddening social order of the Mississippi Delta. For Steve Yarbrough, though, it's home turf. He is wickedly observant, funny, cynical, evocative, and he possesses a gift that cannot be taught: he can tell a story.
John Grisham
I am currently reading, The Broker by John Grisham. it is alittle slow to start so I will have to let you know if it gets better
John Grisham
After I'd been a lawyer for about five or six years, I started playing around with fiction.
John Grisham
I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.
John Grisham
