Retired Judge

Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or judge:

“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)

“Self-love makes our friends appear more or less deserving in proportion to the delight we take in them, and the measures by which we judge of their worth depend upon the manner of their conversing with us.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
