Famous quotes containing the words supreme, court and/or appointments:

    “Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
    To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
    To seem a statesman.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment; no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
