“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

William Shakespeare - Henry VI, Part 2 Act 4, Scene 2


Just so you know, Shakespeare put those words into the mouth of an evil character with an evil plan to grab power.

Shakespeare meant it as a compliment to attorneys and judges who instill justice in society.

I know the context, but I think Shakespeare would likely have a different take on nobles in today's society.
