Famous quotes containing the words court and/or judge:
“Of all things in life, Mrs. Lee held this kind of court-service in contempt, for she was something more than republican—a little communistic at heart, and her only serious complaint of the President and his wife was that they undertook to have a court and to ape monarchy. She had no notion of admitting social superiority in any one, President or Prince, and to be suddenly converted into a lady-in-waiting to a small German Grand-Duchess, was a terrible blow.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“It may not be impossible, but that our Faculties may be so construed, as always to deceive us in the things we judge most certain and assured.”
—Joseph Glanvill (1636–1680)
