a rainbow, which in the morning only appears in the west, or towards the evening sky; but in the latter hours of day casts its triumphal arch over the east, or morning sky.--_Richter._ ~Judgment.~--The more one judges, the less one loves.--_Balzac._ I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.--_Wellington._ Judgment and reason have been grand jurymen since before Noah was a sailor.--_Shakespeare._ A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them; but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.--_Goethe._ In judging of others a man laboreth in vain, often erreth, and easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboreth fruitfully.--_Thomas a Kempis._ I have seen, when after execution judgment hath repented o'er his doom.--_Shakespeare._ Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice, but an accident alone, here below.

Its tardy and doubtful course causes too many tears to be shed.--_Corneille._ Justice is truth in action.--_Joubert._ At present we can only reason of the divine justice from what we know of justice in man.
