Famous quotes containing the words current and/or judges:

    “Gradually the village murmur subsided, and we seemed to be embarked on the placid current of our dreams, floating from past to future as silently as one awakes to fresh morning or evening thoughts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.”
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
