True Judgement

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or judgement:

“It is a very true and expressive phrase, “He looked daggers at me,” for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
