“The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, "Am I not your Lord?" To which we answered, "Yea." And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.” WorldActionEarthFormLordAwarenessJudgingEvidenceTrialsWitnessAgreementCovenantCourtroomWords And ActionsCovenant With God Author:Rumi
“If you put me in charge of the medical research budget, I would cancel all primary research, I would cancel all new trials, for just one year, and I would spend the money exclusively on making sure that we make the best possible use of the clinical evidence that we already have.” IfsYearsUseResearchEvidenceMedicalTrialsPrimariesBudgetsJust OneClinicalsMedical Research Author:Ben Goldacre
“That in all capital or criminal prosecutions a man bath a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence in his favor, and to a speedy trial by an impartial jury of twelve men of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself; that no man be deprived of his liberty, except by the law of the land or the judgment of his peers.” MenGivingLawFoundCausesLibertyLandDemandJudgmentEvidenceCriminalsFavorsTrialsGuiltyWitnessTwelvePeersConsentCompelledDeprivedBathsJuryAccusationProsecutionAccusers Author:George Mason

“The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There is not one of them which will not make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it is not. If you leave out justice you will find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials "for the sake of humanity", and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.” IfsThinkingMenEndsMightHumanityCan DoJusticeDangerousOughtCostSafeDevilEvidenceAbsolutesSakeGuidesTrialsImpulseAgreementFinding YourselfDangerous ThingsTreacherous Book:Mere Christianity Source: Mere Christianity
“Well, when people talk about interrogating terrorists, they're acting like this is some sort of law enforcement function.

“Of course, the main reason is the change of law in the way Germany has brought Nazi war criminals to trial.

“Now documentary evidence is acceptable. What does that mean? If you have documentary evidence that a person served as a guard in one of the death camps and the documents have been authenticated, that is grounds to charge the person with crimes against humanity. And that's why you see the spate of trials previously, for example, in the '70s and the '80s, even in the low '90s.

“Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously.

“O God, when I listen to the voices of animals, the sounds of trees, the murmurings of water, the singing of birds, the whistling of the wind, or the boom of thunder, I see in them evidence of Your unity; I feel that You are supreme power, omniscience, supreme knowledge, and supreme justice. I recognize You, O God, in the trials I am going through. May Your pleasure be my pleasure, too. May I be Your joy, the joy that a Father feels for a son. And may I think of You calmly and with determination, even when I find it hard to say I love You.” ThinkingFeelsMayHardJoyFatherSoundVoiceWaterJusticePleasureAnimalTreeLove YouSonWindSingingBirdEvidenceDeterminationUnitySupremeTrialsThunderThink Of YouSay I Love YouWhistlingMurmuringOmniscienceSupreme PowerI Think Of You Author:Paulo Coelho
