Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    “If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I’ll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “The laws of Caesar are one thing, those of Christ, another. Papinianus judges one way, our Paul another.”
    —Jerome (c. 340–420)
