A much talking judge is an ill-tuned cymbal.
You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.
The drums have hogged a lot of the credit. We're as much -- or more -- *cymbal* players, as we are drummers.
A violin is tuned to a fifth. But a guitar is tuned to a fourth with a one-third middle. It is very perplexing to composers.
We like so much to talk of ourselves that we are never weary of those private interviews with a lover during the course of whole years, and for the same reason the devout like to spend much time with their confessor; it is the pleasure of talking of themselves, even though it be to talk ill.
Men tuned into women but not tuned into their own hurts usually retained the attitude that women needed special protection.
Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure, I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good.
The judges of normality are present everywhere. We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator-judge, the social worker-judge.
Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.
A man fashions ill for himself who fashions ill for another, and the ill design is most ill for the designer.
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
There are some disguised falsehoods so like truths, that 'twould be to judge ill not to be deceived by them.
For all men are equal at the moment of death and who are we to judge them when a much greater judge awaits?
It's easier being a judge than a competitor. As a judge, you don't have any risks. That makes it much more enjoyable.
I used a '57 Les Paul on one track, 'These Walls', which features Alam Khan on sarod. I tuned it way down because the sarode is naturally in C but I tuned the guitar down to D and he came up to D. It was all a pretty simple setup.
I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.
I could have been a Judge, but I never had the Latin for the judgin'. I never had it, so I'd had it, as far as being a judge was concerned... I would much prefer to be a judge than a coal miner because of the absence of falling coal.
