Famous quotes containing the word judgment:

    “The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Blest are those
    Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
    That they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger
    To sound what stop she please.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
