Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    The judges did the punishing, the criminals paid for their crimes and I, free of responsibilities, removed from judgment and from punishment, I ruled, freely, in an edenic light.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

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