Chief Justice Warren

Famous quotes containing the words chief, justice and/or warren:

    When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    But it thought no bed too narrow—it stood with lips askew
    And shook its great head sadly like the abstract Jew.
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
