Pedants make a great rout about criticism, as if it were a science of great depth, and required much pains and knowledge--criticism however is only the result of good sense, taste and judgment--three qualities that indeed seldom are found together, and extremely seldom in a pedant, which most critics are.

Horace Walpole

I have seldom seen much ostentation and much learning met together.

Joseph Hall

I have seldom seen much ostentation and much learning met together. The sun, rising and declining, makes long shadows; at mid day, when he is highest, none at all.

Joseph Hall

So often has my judgment deceived me in my life, that I always suspect it, right or wrong,--at least I am seldom hot upon cold subjects. For all this, I reverence truth as much as any body; andif a man will but take me by the hand, and go quietly and search for itI'll go to the world's end with him:MBut I hate disputes.

Laurence Sterne

That which we call wit consists much in quickness and tricks, and is so full of lightness that it seldom goes with judgment and solidity; but when they do meet, it is commonly in an honest man.

King James I

Listen much, keep silent when in doubt, and always take heed of the tongue; thou wilt make few mistakes. See much, beware of pitfalls, and always give heed to thy walk; thou wilt have little to rue. If thy words are seldom wrong, thy deeds leave little to rue, pay will follow.

Confucius

If thy words be too luxuriant, confine them, lest they confine thee; he that thinks he never can speak enough may easily speak too much. A full tongue and an empty brain are seldom parted.

Francis Quarles

A mistake in judgment isn't fatal, but too much anxiety about judgment is.

Pauline Kael

I'm more into the perception scope of a work; I'm exploring this concept of perception and how people can look at someone, look at the community, and put in so much judgment, so much stereotype, so much misconception.

eL Seed

For unbelievers, at the final judgment, there will not be one drop of mercy, only perfect justice-so much sin, so much wrath.

Steven J Lawson

Regardless of what society says, we can't go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming.

Billy Graham

No one can take less pains than to hold his tongue. Hear much, and speak little; for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and greatest evil that is done in the world.

Walter Raleigh

Although the Senate is much given to admiring in its members a superiority less obvious or quite invisible to outsiders, one Senator seldom proclaims his own inferiority to another, and still more seldom likes to be told of it.

Henry Adams

My whole thing is, if you love this person as much as you say you do and you spent this much time together, you owe it to that person to have a conversation with them about opening up the relationship one way or another before you go and you act on it.

Nico Tortorella

While there's been much progress on terrorism, there's still much work to do and it is very important that the countries work together in order to address this threat together.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose, or so much to gain. Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames.

John F. Kennedy
