Verdict Quotes - Page 5

• Muchos estadounidenses han perdido la confianza en la forma en que nuestros tribunales penales evalúan la culpabilidad y la inocencia. Independientemente de lo que se piense de los veredictos, los recientes juicios de O.J. Simpson, Erik y Lyle Menéndez, y varios acusados en casos de abusos sexuales a preescolares han sido largos culebrones dominados por los abogados en los que la búsqueda de la verdad se ha subordinado a la manipulación de los procedimientos.

• No está lejano el día en que el hombre que muera dejando tras de sí millones de riquezas disponibles, que le fueron libres de administrar en vida, pasará sin ser llorado, honrado ni cantado, no importa para qué usos deje la escoria que no puede llevarse consigo. El veredicto público será entonces: El hombre que muere así de rico, muere deshonrado. Tal es, en mi opinión, el verdadero evangelio sobre la riqueza, cuya obediencia está destinada a resolver algún día el problema de los ricos y los pobres.

• Creo que el término poeta es un término muy exaltado y debe aplicarse a un hombre al final de su obra. Cuando un hombre echa la vista atrás y comprueba que ha escrito poesía, el veredicto es que es un poeta.

• The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.

• The gods we make in our own image are tribal gods. They tell you how very, very little you should tolerate outsiders, who are less favoured of the Lord. Amazingly, there are no recorded cases of the holy man going up the mountain and finding that it's the others who are right. It always turns out that God wants unbelievers to suffer, and what could be more noble than to help him a little? When religion rules, toleration disappears, for you cannot cherish the verdict of death to the infidels, yet also tolerate those who disagree - for those are the very same infidels.

• In the United States we have all across this country, we have dozens of Halakha courts, in which particularly observant Jews can take these issues of family law to an orthodox Court and have that judge, judge for them. As long as the courts don't violate the laws of the land and as long as there's a room for appeal should one or two parties disagree with the verdict, I don't see how this would have anything to do with being incompatible with what we refer to as Western ideas of democracy.

• Porque hay tres maneras de realizar un acto de misericordia: la palabra misericordiosa, perdonando y consolando; en segundo lugar, si no puedes ofrecer ninguna palabra, entonces reza - eso también es misericordia; y en tercer lugar, las obras de misericordia. Y cuando llegue el Último Día, seremos juzgados por esto, y sobre esta base recibiremos el veredicto eterno.

• 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.

• Intellectuals are judged not by their morals, but by the quality of their ideas, which are rarely reducible to simple verdicts of truth or falsity, if only because banalities are by definition accurate.

• How often has not the parallel been drawn and the golden age of the Roman Empire, when the external brilliancy of life likewise dazzled the eye, notwithstanding that the social diagnosis could yield no other verdict than 'rotten to the very core'?

• I have no liking for novels or stories - none in the world; and so, whenever I read one - which is not oftener than once in two years, and even in these same cases I seldom read beyond the middle of the book - my distaste for the vehicle always taints my judgment of the literature itself, as a matter of course; and also of course makes my verdict valuless. Are you saying "You have written stories yourself." Quite true: but the fact that an Indian likes to scalp people is no evidence that he likes to be scalped.

• I have never done anything 'useful'. No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world... Judged by all practical standards, the value of my mathematical life is nil; and outside mathematics it is trivial anyhow. I have just one chance of escaping a verdict of complete triviality, that I may be judged to have created something worth creating. And that I have created something is undeniable: the question is about its value.

• [N]obody can produce new evidence of your depravity that will make God change his mind. For God justified you with (so to speak) his eyes open. He knew the worst about you at the time when he accepted you for Jesus' sake; and the verdict which he passed then was, and is, final.

• In our system, we leave questions of fact to a jury. But to render a verdict, a jury must know the law. For this, we rely upon jury instructions. Instructions are supposed to translate the law into lay terms that the jury can apply to the facts as they determine them.

• Algunos filósofos recientes parecen haber dado su aprobación moral a estos veredictos deplorables que afirman que la inteligencia de un individuo es una cantidad fija, una cantidad que no puede aumentarse. Debemos protestar y reaccionar contra este pesimismo brutal; intentaremos demostrar que no se fundamenta en nada.
