Earlier Judge

Famous quotes containing the words earlier and/or judge:

    When over the houses, a golden illusion
    Brings back an earlier season of quiet
    And quieting dreams in the sleepers in darkness
    The moon is the mother of pathos and pity.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Whoever can discern truth has received his commission from a higher source than the chiefest justice in the world who can discern only law. He finds himself constituted judge of the judge. Strange that it should be necessary to state such simple truths!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
