My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.
Jamie Lee Curtis

A criminal trial is never about seeking justice for the victim. If it were, there could be only one verdict: guilty.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It's only after that they share their doubts.
Julian Fellowes
Image
I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion, and if I was sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly give my verdict in its favor. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted to the mind of man.
Alexander Hamilton
Image
We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change cries out loudly enough to force upon us a choice between the comforts of inertia and the irksomeness of action.
Learned Hand
Image
Some recent philosophers seem to have given their moral approval to these deplorable verdicts that affirm that the intelligence of an individual is a fixed quantity, a quantity that cannot be augmented. We must protest and react against this brutal pessimism we will try to demonstrate that it is founded on nothing.
Alfred Binet
Image
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others it's for others to use.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Hence our verdict on these reformulated versions of St. Anselm's argument must be as follows. They cannot, perhaps, be said to prove or establish their conclusion.
Alvin Plantinga
Image
Each man must reach his own verdict, by weighing all the relevant evidence.
Leonard Peikoff
Image
In every relationship, sooner or later, there is a court scene. Accusations, counter-accusations, a trial, a verdict.
Anais Nin
Image
When the guilty verdict was handed down, I walked outside and saw a rainbow encircling the sun. Everyone in Monrovia could see it. It was a hot day, 80 or 90 degrees. I don't remember seeing any raindrops fall. I thought, this is a sign.
Leymah Gbowee

The evidence is in, and you are the verdict.
Anne Lamott
Image
In the last analysis, the artist may shout from all the rooftops that he is a genius he will have to wait for the verdict of posterity.
Marcel Duchamp
Image
I expect from our judges that their verdicts are also inspired by Talmudic law - and not only by common law or European justice systems.
Ayelet Shaked
Image
I very much miss trying cases - I knew that I made a difference in the world working with crimes directly and trying to get verdicts that spoke the truth. On TV, you never really know what effect you're having.
Nancy Grace
Image
Place nothing above the verdict of your own mind.
Ayn Rand
Image
Nicaragua dealt with the problem of terrorism in exactly the right way. It followed international law and treaty obligations. It collected evidence, brought the evidence to the highest existing tribunal, the International Court of Justice, and received a verdict - which, of course, the U.S. dismissed with contempt.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Earlier today, the jury at the Martha Stewart trial reached a verdict. Martha was found guilty on all charges. In a related story, there's a huge sale at K-Mart.
Conan O'Brien
Image
A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
Image
In Los Angeles, the jury in the Reginald Denny Beating trial, after much thinking, concludes, that Person A is not necessarily trying to kill Person B just because Person A happens to very deliberately bash Person B's skull in with a brick. The verdict is applauded by scientists at the Tobacco Institute.
Dave Barry
Image
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective: it all depends on the observer and the verdict of history.
Pentti Linkola
Image
On the issue of evolution, the verdict is still out on how God created the Earth.
George W. Bush
Image
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The verdict of a jury is the a priori opinion of that juror who smokes the worst cigars.
H. L. Mencken
