Famous quotes containing the words current and/or judges:

    “Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “The world, the wise world, that never is wrong itself, judges always by events. And if he should use me ill, then I shall be blamed for trusting him: if well, O then I did right, to be sure!—But how would my censurers act in my case, before the event justifies or condemns the action, is the question.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
