Famous quotes containing the words superior, court and/or judge:
“The momentary charge at Balaklava, in obedience to a blundering command, proving what a perfect machine the soldier is, has, properly enough, been celebrated by a poet laureate; but the steady, and for the most part successful, charge of this man, for some years, against the legions of Slavery, in obedience to an infinitely higher command, is as much more memorable than that as an intelligent and conscientious man is superior to a machine. Do you think that that will go unsung?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A friend i’the court is better than a penny in purse.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
