About the motto on the visiting card
Please let me use this opportunity to explain about the motto on my visiting card, because I’m often asked about it.
" An expert attorney with spirit! A Person with a heart! "
It is a kind of pun for the passage : "Fachmann ohne Geist, Genußmensch ohne Herz" ,which means "An expert without spirit, A hedonist without a heart." It’s a little ironic remark about American capitalism, and a quotation from "Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus" by Max Weber, German sociologist.
I’m very grad if you could understand the meaning of this motto.
