Famous quotes containing the words affair, grand and/or jury:

    “An illicit love affair seems sweetly old-fashioned in the age of one night stands and orgies.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “We now come to the grand law of the system in which we are placed, as it has been developed by the experience of our race, and that, in one word, is SACRIFICE!”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    “I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”
    —Harper Lee (b. 1926)
