Private Judgement

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or judgement:

“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“A man’s conscience and his judgement is the same thing; and as the judgement, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
