“Twelve o’clock! It is the natural centre, key-stone, and very heart of the day. At that hour, the sun has arrived at the top of his hill; and as he seems to hang poised there a while, before coming down on the other side, it is but reasonable to suppose that he is then stopping to dine; setting an eminent example to all mankind.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I that loved and you that liked, shall we begin to wrangle?
No, no, no, my heart is fast, and cannot disentangle.”
—Unknown. Since First I Saw Your Face (l. 3–4)
“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)
