Famous quotes containing the words court and/or verdict:
“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“Americans are notorious for looking to their children for approval. How our children turn out and what they think of us has become the “final judgment” on our lives. . . . We imagine that the rising generation is rendering history’s verdict on us. We may resent children simply because we expect a harsh judgment from them.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
