Consent Judgments

Famous quotes containing the words consent and/or judgments:

“We have been here over forty years, a longer period than the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, coming to this Capitol pleading for this recognition of the principle that the Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Mr. Chairman, we ask that you report our resolution favorably if you can but unfavorably if you must; that you report one way or the other, so that the Senate may have the chance to consider it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

“The judgments our enemies make about us come nearer to the truth than those we make about ourselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
