Hey mgm, the quote "A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer." by Robert Frost is contained in these 3 databases:
Michael Moncur's (Cynical) Quotations, Cole's Quotables and Rand Lindsly's Quotations.
Here are the links:
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/182.html
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/26710.html
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/20600.html

Is this 'normal', or are you going to erase two of them? ;)

That's semi-normal right now. We're eventually going to eliminate duplicates like that...

I guess it's just me, but does this even sound like Robert Frost?
I discovered that Quoteland had it attributed to Frost as well. I have changed it to "anon" with the additional note
Quote:
can be found attributed to: Herbert Spencer, Robert Frost, Michael Pritchard, John Fredericksen, humorous “tagline” with no author, etc.

It doesn't really sound like Frost to me either, and that's one of the oldest ones in my collection so who knows where it came from. I flagged it as questionable.
