Hearing People

Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:

    I do not allow myself to be moved by anything except the law. If there has been a mistake in the law, or if I think there has been perjury or injustice, I will weigh the petition most carefully, but I do not permit myself to be moved by more harrowing details, and I try to treat each case as if I was reviewing it or hearing it for the first time from the bench.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
