The language of judicial decision is mainly the language of logic. And the logical method and form flatter that longing for certainty and for repose which is in every human mind. But certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Certainty is the mother of repose, and therefore the common law aims at certainty.

Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke

Death is repose, but the thought of death disturbs all repose.

Cesare Pavese

Certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions

Edward Coke

Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions.

Edward Coke

After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.

Pope Benedict XVI

The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.

John Ruskin

Ira Gershwin

I have a certainty about eternity that is a wonderful thing, and I thank God for giving me that certainty. I do not fear death. I may fear a little bit about the process, but not death itself, because I think the moment that my spirit leaves this body, I will be in the presence of the Lord.

Billy Graham

I cannot be exacting because I respect myself.

Franz Grillparzer

Respect talent. Get respect where respect is due, but don't be caught up in yourself where you do things obliviously and not pay attention to what is going on.

Robert Griffin III

Respect is better procured by exacting than soliciting it.

Sir Fulke Greville

Rose: You're crazy. Jack: That's what everybody says but, with all due respect, Miss, I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship here. Come on. C'mon, give me your hand. You don't want to do this.

James Cameron

A musical theme once exhausted, finds its due refuge and repose in silence.

Henri Frederic Amiel
