Judges Quotes (page 18)

Yet, she said to herself, form the dawn of time odes have been sung to love; wreaths heaped and roses; and if you asked nine people out of ten they would say they wanted nothing but this--love; while the women, judging from her own experience, would all the time be feeling, This is not what we want; there is nothing more tedious, puerile, and inhumane than this; yet it is also beautiful and necessary. Virginia Woolf
Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them. Herman Hesse
In those days, I didn't understand anything. I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. I should never have run away! I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. Flowers are so contadictory! But I was too young to know how to love her. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is... Ayn Rand
The merciful precepts of Christ will at last suffuse the Code and it will glow with their radiance. Crime will be considered an illness with its own doctors to replace your judges and its hospitals to replace your prisons. Liberty shall be equated with health. Ointments and oil shall be applied to limbs that were once shackled and branded. Infirmities that once were scourged with anger shall now be bathed with love. The cross in place of the gallows: sublime and yet so simple. Victor Hugo
A man seeks his own destiny and no other, said the judge. Wil or nill. Any man who could discover his own fate and elect therefore some opposite course could only come at last to that selfsame reckoning at the same appointed time, for each man's destiny is as large as the world he inhabits and contains within it all opposites as well. The desert upon which so many have been broken is vast and calls for largeness of heart but it is also ultimately empty. It is hard, it is barren. Its very... Cormac McCarthy
Ulysses S. Grant quote: "The distant rear of an army engaged in battle is not the best..."
The distant rear of an army engaged in battle is not the best place from which to judge correctly what is going on in front. Ulysses S. Grant
Cormac McCarthy quote: "He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says..."
...He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. Cormac McCarthy
Jodi Picoult quote: "Objection!" Metz shouts. Grounds?" the judge asks. Well......"
Objection!" Metz shouts. Grounds?" the judge asks. Well... he's my witness! Jodi Picoult
i never understood society. i undersand that it works somehow and that it functions as a reality and that its realities are necessary to keep us from worse realities. but all i sense are that are plenty of police and jails and judges and laws and that what is meant to protect me is breaking me down... Charles Bukowski
John, the grass is too damp for you! You had better go and put on your overshoes at once! I am quite comfortable, Caroline, I assure you. You must allow me to be the best judge of that, John! Pray do as I tell you! Very well, my dear. Oscar Wilde
Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives-that is the way the world judges it-but the joy and peace it can purchase for others. Fulton J. Sheen
If you dare to injure her in the least, I will await you where no policeman can step in between. And God shall judge between us two. Elizabeth Gaskell
O prejudice, prejudice, prejudice, how many hast thou destroyed! Men who might have been wise have remained fools because they thought they were wise. Many judge what the gospel ought to be, but do not actually enquire as to what it is. They do not come to the Bible to obtain their views of religion, but they open that Book to find texts to suit the opinions which they bring to it. They are not open to the honest force of truth, and therefore are not saved by it. Charles Spurgeon
I may be mistaken but it seems to me that a man may be judged by his laugh, and that if at first encounter you like the laugh of a person completely unknown to you, you may say with assurance that he is good. Fyodor Dostoevsky
