Famous quotes containing the word decisions:
“The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counterauthority to the law.”

“Most of my decisions in life seem absent-minded but inevitable.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one. It is a title dearly enough bought by most men, to render it endurable, even when not quite clearly made out, which it never can be till the Posterity, whose decisions are merely dreams to ourselves, has sanctioned or denied it, while it can touch us no further.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
