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

Colin Powell

Hanna Rosin

Noam Chomsky

Justice, Law, Problem, Way, Terrorism

The Constitution that I interpret and apply is not living, but dead, or as I prefer to call it, enduring. It means, today, not what current society, much less the court, thinks it ought to mean, but what it meant when it was adopted. Antonin Scalia

Today, Society, Constitution, Living

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come. Serena Williams

Some may remember, if you have good memories, that there used to be a concept in Anglo-American law called a presumption of innocence, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now that's so deep in history that there's no point even bringing it up, but it did once exist. Noam Chomsky

Good, History, Memories, Law, Deep, You

The biggest problem for badminton is wind direction and lighting. If those problems are not solved, it seriously impacts players' performances on the court. If a high-level player's performance is affected by these factors, they suffer setbacks and cannot be fully satisfied on the court. Lin Dan
