Famous quotes containing the words current and/or judges:

    “The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
