Famous quotes containing the words current and/or justices:
“The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than The doctor will see you now. I am willing to concede something to the phrase Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“If the justices would only retire when they have become burdens to the court itself, or when they recognize themselves that their faculties have become impaired, I would grieve sincerely when they passed away, and you would not feel like such a hypocrite as you do when you are going through the formality of sending telegrams of condolence and giving out interviews for proprietys sake.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
