The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Robert Shapiro

- Not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.
- F. Lee Bailey had been an inspiration to me. It was my desire to have him behind the scenes, to rely on his great wisdom and his brainpower, but I did not feel he should be in the courtroom.
