Judges

Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    “Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Samson, in Judges 14:18.

    To the men who had answered his riddle, “Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness.”

    “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)
