Judge Declared

Famous quotes containing the words judge and/or declared:

    Some judge of authors’ names, not works, and then
    Nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong? Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made? or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are not good? Is there any necessity for a man’s being a tool to perform a deed of which his better nature disapproves?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
