Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    “The rage for road building is beneficent for America, where vast distance is so main a consideration in our domestic politics and trade, inasmuch as the great political promise of the invention is to hold the Union staunch, whose days already seem numbered by the mere inconvenience of transporting representatives, judges and officers across such tedious distances of land and water.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
