Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    The world, the wise world, that never is wrong itself, judges always by events. And if he should use me ill, then I shall be blamed for trusting him: if well, O then I did right, to be sure!—But how would my censurers act in my case, before the event justifies or condemns the action, is the question.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
