Court Quotes - BrainyQuote

I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen.

Kate Forsyth

As I have done in every election since I started voting so many years ago, I always like to take my time and examine the two candidates, see not only the two candidates but the policies they will bring in, the people they will bring in, who they might appoint to the Supreme Court, and look at the whole range of issues before making a decision. Colin Powell

In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush, but still lost the election.

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other's past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies. Hanna Rosin

Past, King, Conflict, Blame, Ending, Old

There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it's human nature. Monica Raymund
