Supreme Court Cases

Famous quotes containing the words supreme, court and/or cases:

    “Slowly ... the truth is dawning upon women, and still more slowly upon men, that woman is no stepchild of nature, no Cinderella of fate to be dowered only by fairies and the Prince; but that for her and in her, as truly as for and in man, life has wrought its great experiences, its master attainments, its supreme human revelations of the stuff of which worlds are made.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “To rear a tiger is to court calamity.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “For the most part, we are not where we are, but in a false position. Through an infirmity of our natures, we suppose a case, and put ourselves into it, and hence are in two cases at the same time, and it is doubly difficult to get out.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
