Famous quotes containing the words public and/or trial:

    “[The political mind] is a strange mixture of vanity and timidity, of an obsequious attitude at one time and a delusion of grandeur at another time. The political mind is the product of men in public life who have been twice spoiled. They have been spoiled with praise and they have been spoiled with abuse.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “A man who has no office to go to—I don’t care who he is—is a trial of which you can have no conception.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
