Judge David Burnett

Famous quotes containing the words judge, david and/or burnett:

    Whoever can discern truth has received his commission from a higher source than the chiefest justice in the world who can discern only law. He finds himself constituted judge of the judge. Strange that it should be necessary to state such simple truths!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If you want to know the feeling [of labor pain], just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head.
    —Carol Burnett (20th century)
