Famous quotes containing the words public and/or trial:

    “I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

    “I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
