Court Quotes - BrainyQuote

Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever.

William Howard Taft

I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen. Frogs can be kings, a thicket of brambles can hide a castle where a royal court has lain asleep for a hundred years, a boy can outwit a giant, and a girl can break a curse with nothing but her courage and steadfastness. Kate Forsyth

Love, Hundred, Worlds

Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever. - William Howard Taft

Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever. William Howard Taft

Go, Goes, Presidents

Don't judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that's about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. It's me against the world - that's how I feel. Lil Wayne

Against, Line, Other

God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court.

Joel Osteen

Faith, Declare, Your

One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying. Morris West

Pain, Always, Needs

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

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

Constitution, Meant, Means

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

Debate, Other, Reign

What secret knowledge, one must wonder, is breathed into lawyers when they become Justices of this Court that enables them to discern that a practice which the text of the Constitution does not clearly proscribe, and which our people have regarded as constitutional for 200 years, is in fact unconstitutional? Antonin Scalia

Practice, Lawyers, Fact

There's no palette as rich as a garden. And the intensity of it - I make this statement all the time: You can't plan nature; you court her. Robert Irwin

Nature, Rich, Intensity

I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He's given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball's taught me on and off the court. For the people that I've been able to meet through the game of basketball. Stephen Curry

Game, Through, Been

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts. Mahatma Gandhi

Conscience, Other, Than

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself. LeBron James

Myself, Night, Give

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

Luck, Nothing, Hours

On the whole, we think of our consumers - other judges, lawyers, the public. The law that the Supreme Court establishes is the law that they must live by, so all things considered, it's better to have it clearer than confusing. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Lawyers, Other, Considered

In hindsight, Watergate was a curse as well as a blessing for American journalism. The courageous reporting of the 'Post' and the 'New York Times' - coupled with the favourable Supreme Court rulings on publication of the Pentagon Papers - were landmarks for the interpretation of First Amendment rights and the freedom of the press. Lionel Barber

Favourable, Amendment

At Columbia Law School, my professor of constitutional law and federal courts, Gerald Gunther, was determined to place me in a federal court clerkship, despite what was then viewed as a grave impediment: On graduation, I was the mother of a 4-year-old child. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Constitutional, Impediment

I have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor. Stephen Curry

Smiling, Trying, Demeanor

I'm Serena Williams on the court, but away I have so many different names. I call myself Butterfly. Serena Williams

Away, Different Names

Some people get very confused about my game. They think it's better if the court is slow, because I have a good defence. But the faster it is, the better for me. My spin is more painful for my opponents, my aggressive game works better. Rafael Nadal

Game, Very, Some

I've had two cancer bouts in my years on the Court, and the first one, Justice O'Connor told me, 'Now, you do the chemotherapy on Friday because you'll get over it during the weekend and you can be back in court on Monday.' Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Weekend, Back, Over It

There is such a thing as tempting the gods. Talking too much, too soon and with too much self-satisfaction has always seemed to me a sure way to court disaster. The forces of retribution are always listening. They never sleep. Meg Greenfield

Talking, Soon, Gods

Now that the Court has declared money to be speech, I say we replace the current Court with some Ben Franklins, Thomas Jeffersons, George Washingtons, a couple of Susan B. Anthony's, Roosevelts, Hamiltons, a Sacajawea or two, and an Abe Lincoln to cover Scalia in full. Elayne Boosler

Some, Couple, Replace

We were environmentalists of the Teddy Roosevelt theory. We believed in separation of church and state. We believed in the independence of the Supreme Court not being subject to politicians. Pete McCloskey

Church, Subject, Roosevelt

If you don't believe this election is important, if you think you can sit it out, take a moment to think about the Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump would nominate and what that would mean to civil liberties, equal rights, and the future of our country. Bernie Sanders

Country, Trump, Donald
