Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    “Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Although your knowledge is weak and small, you need not be silent: Since you cannot be judges be at least witnesses.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
