Judge: a law student who marks his own examination-papers.

I’ve never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I’m a good person. I believe I’m a good mom. But that’s for my kids to decide, not for the world.

Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.

Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer.

It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see.

A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

‚Do you spell it with a ‚V‘ or a ‚W‘?‘ inquired the judge. ‚That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my Lord‘.

Justice is what is established; and thus all our established laws will necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are established.
