Famous quotes containing the words justices, supreme and/or court:

“If the justices would only retire when they have become burdens to the court itself, or when they recognize themselves that their faculties have become impaired, I would grieve sincerely when they passed away, and you would not feel like such a hypocrite as you do when you are going through the formality of sending telegrams of condolence and giving out interviews for propriety’s sake.”

“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”
