Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or judge:

    No person connected with me by blood or marriage will be appointed to office.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Beshrew me but I love her heartily,
    For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
    And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,
    And true she is, as she hath proved herself;
    And therefore, like herself, wise, fair, and true,
    Shall she be placed in my constant soul.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
