Courts are places where the ending is written first and all that precedes is simply vaudeville.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Courts of equity make their decrees so as to arrive at the justice of the case without violating the rules of law.
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Image
Courts are an aristocratic institution in a democracy. That's the dilemma for an institution that has the function of reviewing the will of the people. We're bound to be anti-majoritarian.
Rose Bird
Image
Courts of equity have always considered it of the greatest possible importance that parties should not sleep on their rights.
Frederick Romilly
Image
Courts in America seem to be so political, and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right.
Donald Trump
Image
Courts and camps are the only places to learn the world in.
Doug Stanhope
Image
Congress should pass legislation to remove from the federal courts their jurisdiction to hear these outrageous challenges to the Ten Commandments and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Phyllis Schlafly
Image
Cottages have them (falsehood and dissimulation) as well as courts, only with worse manners.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
A situation where a solution to a stakeholder problem is imposed by a government agency or the courts must be seen as a managerial failure.
R. Edward Freeman
Image
The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation. The whole grim apparatus of oppression and coercion, policemen, customs guards, penal courts, prisons, in some countries even executioners, had to be put into action in order to destroy the gold standard.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
Society always consists, in greatest part, of young and foolish persons. The old, who have seen through the hypocrisy of the courts and statesmen, die, and leave no wisdom to their sons. They believe their own newspaper, as their fathers did at their age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I'm really interested not just in privacy for the individual but respect for the local communities. And I think we have a problem with both and whenever industries kind of become almost monopolistic they have to be challenged to be more responsible. We can challenge them in the press, in the courts and in regulation.
Ramesh Srinivasan

Is not this insanity plea becoming rather common? Is it not so common that the reader confidently expects to see it offered in every criminal case that comes before the courts?... Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity.
Mark Twain
Image
My obligation as president, and what I promise the country, is that the courts will be able to do their job free of all pressure.
Ricardo Lagos
Image
Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, Buy.
Mason Cooley
Image
The first thing I became interested in in terms of 'Brain Storm' was neuroscience, and that is like saying you're interested in the universe. So ultimately I knew if I was going to handle this in a fictional format, I would have to take a subsection of neuroscience, and that turned out to be the use of neuroscience in criminal courts.
Richard Dooling
Image
Peoples do not judge in the same way as courts of law they do not hand down sentences, they throw thunderbolts they do not condemn kings, they drop them back into the void and this justice is worth just as much as that of the courts.
Maximilien Robespierre
Image
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that - the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God. When it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what God has created.
Mike Huckabee
Image
Our emphasis here is based not only on the growing seriousness of drug-related crimes, but also on the belief that relieving our police and our courts from having to fight losing battles against drug use will enable their energies and facilities to be devoted more fully to combating other forms of crime.
Milton Friedman
Image
Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 A.M. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one.
Missy Peregrym
Image
Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship.
John Milton
Image
The immigration bill - the new immigration bill - [Bill Clinton] has stripped the courts, which Congress can do under the leadership of the president, so that people who had a right to asylum or to petition - for asylum who were legal residents are now unable to go through because that part of the bill has been taken out.
