Famous quotes containing the words grand, jury and/or testimony:
“That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe—the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“So the Snark found the verdict, although as it owned,
It was spent with the toils of the day:
When it said the word ‘GUILTY!’ the Jury all groaned,
And some of them fainted away.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
