No one can assure success at the bar to any young man who is entering the advocate’s profession. Success must ultimately depend upon the man himself. There is no other profession which demands such patience and perseverance because as Lord Hewart once said, life at the bar is never a bed of roses. It is either all bed and no roses, or all roses and no bed. The most difficult time in a advocate’s life is when it is all bed and no roses. It is when he is passing through such a situation that he must maintain a stout heart, it is then that he must work and slave in a spirit of single-mindedness. It is also the time to learn all that there is to learn about the art of advocacy.

I am, moreover, convinced that success would come to every young man who has faith in himself. He must enter the profession with the zeal of a crusader. For years there may be no work, he may even be faced with prospects of starvation. He may come to feel that his talents are not being used. He may see undeserving men flourish in the profession. But opportunity comes to everyone, and when the opportunity comes no young man should be found wanting. It is then that he must put into practice all that he has learnt in the long years of waiting, and there is no success like the success in the profession of law. Whereas a successful doctor or a successful engineer can only do his own specialized work, there are few subjects and matters that a successful lawyer cannot tackle.

The courts were temples of justice in which judges and lawyers were both fellow-worshippers dedicated to the service of justice.
