Poor Judgement

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or judgement:

    When a poor disconsolated drooping creature is terrified from all enjoyment,—prays without ceasing ‘till his imagination is heated,—fasts and mortifies and mopes, till his body is in as bad a plight as his mind; is it a wonder, that the mechanical disturbances ... of an empty belly, interpreted by an empty head, should be mistook for [the] workings [of God].
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    They have whetted their teeth against the stones,
    And now they pick the Bishop’s bones;
    They gnawed the flesh from every limb,
    For they were sent to do judgement on him!
    Robert Southey (1774–1843)
