Good Quotes from

Have come across some really good quotes when I watched Season 4... Background is that when Alicia Florrick knew that she was not the only 4-year associate who would be promoted to equity partner, she got really upset. Diane Lockhark came to her and gave Alicia some advice:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diane: Your absence from the festivities is sending quite a message to the partnership.

Alicia: Oh, what message would that be?

Diane: That you are not vested in our little enterprise...You are pouting. It's unbecoming.

Alicia: No. I am working.

Diane: You know why I was made partner? Jonas Stern was being sued for sexual harrassment and he needed to show that he hads a female partner.That's all.

When the door that you have been knocking at finally swings open, you don't ask why, you run through.That is a simple fact.

No one is here to make it comfortable for you. No one is here to appreciate your moping. So, this is my advice to you:

Take a minute for yourself. Put on your best gracious voice. Find a way to wear a smile and then come in the conference room to thank the equity partners, for giving you this opportunity. 

Because what is given can be quickly taken away.
