All business proceeds on beliefs, or judgments of probabilities, and not on certainties.
William Reddington Hewlett
Any critic is entitled to wrong judgments, of course. But certain lapses of judgment indicate the radical failure of an entire sensibility.
Susan Sontag
Best I can do for them is to give them every piece of information I can find and let them make the judgments. That's just my basic view of my function as a journalist.
Jim Lehrer
Big business, for all its lobbying, is often put in line by investigative reporting, public scandals and multi-million-dollar judgments in court against those who put products on the market that are dangerous to their buyers.
Stanley Crouch
Both the historian and the novelist view history as the struggle of a tiny minority, able and determined to make judgments, which is up against a vast and densely packed majority of the blind, who are led by their instincts and unable to think for themselves.
Lion Feuchtwanger
Except among those whose education has been in the minimalist style, it is understood that hasty moral judgments about the past are a form of injustice.
Jacques Barzun
Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power.
Leonardo da Vinci
He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus
How little do they see what is, who frame their hasty judgments upon that which seems.
Robert Southey

Richard Land
I guess none of us like to look back in our lives to a time when we made poor judgments and foolish mistakes.
John Clayton
I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.
Dan Quayle
I just try to do my best and make the best judgments I can.
Janet Reno
I never fixed a story. I didn't make judgments, I let the listener make judgments. When I got to the end of the story, if it had a moral, I let the listener find it.
Tom T. Hall
I not only lived physically away from my native land, but the values and critical judgments of those closest to me became stranger and stranger.
Juan Goytisolo
I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.
Charlotte Gainsbourg
If nations could only depend upon fair and impartial judgments in a world court of law, they would abandon the senseless, savage practice of war.
Belva Lockwood
In dealing with the China problem, the British and American side, which had particularly strong interests in China, should have based its judgments about the origins of the problem on direct observation of the actual circumstances at the time.
Hideki Tojo
Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Calvin Coolidge
