I once heard him say to..., the lawyer, that in all likelihood the laws were of no use, whether framed for the bad or the good; for the latter had no need of laws, and the former were not improved by them.

From Homer the one line he most frequently quoted was:

Idler or toiler,’ tis all one to Death.’
Iliad 9, 320.
