Famous quotes containing the word hearing:

    I do not allow myself to be moved by anything except the law. If there has been a mistake in the law, or if I think there has been perjury or injustice, I will weigh the petition most carefully, but I do not permit myself to be moved by more harrowing details, and I try to treat each case as if I was reviewing it or hearing it for the first time from the bench.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    I sprang not more in joy at first hearing he was a man-child
    than now in first seeing he had proved himself a man.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A fearful man is always hearing things.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
