Famous quotes containing the word judges:
“The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings of the Story, as well as of the heart; and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
