Famous quotes containing the words courts and/or institutions:

    The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes; but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    This, our respectable daily life, on which the man of common sense, the Englishman of the world, stands so squarely, and on which our institutions are founded, is in fact the veriest illusion, and will vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision; but that faint glimmer of reality which sometimes illuminates the darkness of daylight for all men, reveals something more solid and enduring than adamant, which is in fact the cornerstone of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
