I do not know whether it is the view of the Court that a judge must be thick-skinned or just thick-headed, but nothing in my experience or observation confirms the idea that he is insensitive to publicity.

Robert H. Jackson

Mind over matter. Weak minded people are easily influenced. Strong minded people you can't break their will.

John Milton

The desire of glory is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise.
