Quote

It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

When you come in to court as a plaintiff or as a defendant, it is terribly important that you look up at the bench and feel that that person represents you and will understand you, that that person is reflective of our community and of our society.

For all my friends in the media who like quotes, mark this quote down. From this day on I'd like to be known as 'The Big Aristotle' because Aristotle once said, 'Excellence is not a singular act; it's a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.'

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.

Each day, and the living of it, has to be a conscious creation in which discipline and order are relieved with some play and pure foolishness.

If you treat people nicely, and you allow them to fulfill a role that is satisfying for them, they'll accomplish a lot, and they'll enjoy their work.

So, to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.

I do not need to hear how I am judged by others. I know by myself if I can be satisfied or not with my work.

When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.
