Chief Pleas

Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or pleas:

    A judge is not supposed to know anything about the facts of life until they have been presented in evidence and explained to him at least three times.
    Parker, Lord Chief Justice (1900–1972)

    The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
