Idealist Philosopher

Famous quotes containing the words idealist and/or philosopher:

“I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)

“A philosopher must be more than a philosopher.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
