In law, pursuing the peace of compromise is often the best course of action, except when that compromise exacts a fundamental injustice.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."

Teddy Roosevelt said:

"Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong."

Practicing law is the art of navigating between these two truths.
