Hearing

Famous quotes containing the word hearing:

    What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy.

    With all the gracious utterance thou hast
    Speak to his gentle hearing kind commends.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
