Court System

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or system:

“Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
