Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    “We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value—a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord:”
    —Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 31)

    “The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings of the Story, as well as of the heart; and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
