Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
I was fortunate to be born when I was. There’s been a massive rise in British cycling since I joined the junior programme when I was 17. It all started in 2004 when Chris Hoy won gold for the 1 km. time trial in Athens; when one person starts doing well, they take everyone with them.
Geraint Thomas
All that is known for sure is that endometriosis is endemic and that it cannot be cured. Management is the best hope. This makes for treatments that are, if I am being polite, based on trial and error. If I am feeling less generous, they are shots in the dark.
Rose George
And I’ve always felt comfortable certainly in a courtroom because you’re just performing. And there was a time in my life when I thought when I grew up I’d be a trial lawyer myself.

Jake Roberts
Stalin, of course, never went on trial, but his legacy did. In 1956, three years after his death, he was denounced by Nikita Khrushchev. And his crimes were even more explicitly exposed by Mikhail Gorbachev during the late ’80s. Yet to many, Stalin remains more legitimate as a Russian leader than anyone since.
Simon Sebag Montefiore
This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.
Jack Kevorkian
The French word for wanderlust or wandering is ‘errance.’ The etymology is the same as ‘error.’ So to wander is to make mistakes. In other words, to make mistakes, to make errors is sort of the idea of learning through trial and error, allowing the mistakes to be part of the process.
Robyn Davidson
I don’t want to harm my government. I want to help my government. But the fact that they are willing to completely ignore due process, they’re willing to declare guilt without ever seeing a trial, these are things that we need to work against as a society and say, ‘Hey, this is not appropriate.’
Edward Snowden
I always wish I had a road map for how to navigate my life as a parent and a producer, but in truth, it’s a lot of trial and error.
Raney Aronson-Rath
You don’t learn from a situation where you do something well. You enjoy it and you give yourself credit, but you don’t really learn from that. You learn from trial and error, trial and error, all the time.
Suzanne Farrell
Tort reform is important. We need to prevent trial lawyers from killing good jobs.

Ambrose Bierce
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries.
Clarence Darrow
I think a lot of what you do in acting, and for the most part singing and dancing and everything, is trial and error. It’s all about just seeing what works, and if it does, to use it, and if not, to throw it away.
Nick Jonas
Jurisdictions across the U.S. are snapping up algorithms as tools to help judges make bail and bond decisions. They’re being sold as race- and gender-neutral assessments that allow judges to use science in determining whether someone will behave if released from jail pending trial.
John Kennedy
When you’re first starting a show, any show, you learn what works and what doesn’t work, and it’s a kind of trial and error thing.

Lysander Spooner
The value of Eric Foner’s ‘The Fiery Trial’ lies in its comprehensive review of mostly familiar material; in its sensible evaluation of the full range of information already available about Abraham Lincoln and slavery; and in the deft thoroughness of its scholarship.
Fred Kaplan
The United States and the European Union do want to have a rule of law, and that rule of law should be for a fair trial. And that fair trial needs to have an impartial jury.
Maria Cantwell
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
Huey Newton
Me and Dec are long in the tooth now – we’ve seen every Bush Tucker trial there is.
Ant McPartlin
Dictatorships do cut down on rape, and pillage, not to mention sexual harassment, by the simple expedient of sending people to labour camps for life or cutting off their hands without a trial.
Barbara Amiel
Trial and error does not work in real estate. It’s way too expensive to learn from your own mistakes, you need to learn from others’ mistakes.
Scott McGillivray
I got into the movies by accident. When I got an offer, I thought, ‘Let’s try this, too.’ Everything in my life has happened by trial and error. I didn’t even think I would win the Miss India title, so where’s the question of thinking I’d come this far.
Priyanka Chopra
Failure is essential. Trial and error is necessary.

Failure is essential. Trial and error is necessary.
David Bergen
I don’t ever remember a single day of hopelessness. I knew from the history of the labor movement, especially of the black people, that it was an undertaking of great trial. That, live or die, I had to stick with it, and we had to win.
A. Philip Randolph
I began to fear that I was forever going to be living in a hot desert cage, living as and being treated as a male, disappearing from the world into a secret prison, and never facing a public trial.
Chelsea Manning
In Ferguson, there are witnesses who say Brown had his hands up when he was shot. That should be enough probable cause to go to trial to then determine if Officer Wilson is guilty or not. It is at trial that he can then defend himself and his attorneys can present their own witnesses and their own defense.
Al Sharpton
I do not propose that everyone in Guantanamo or its evil twin at Bagram is innocent. I just don’t believe we should incarcerate people without trial and torture them or facilitate and profit from their torture.
Nick Harkaway

At 25, I found myself anchoring coverage of President Clinton’s impeachment trial from Capitol Hill for WTVH-TV in my hometown of Syracuse, New York. I then covered Hillary Clinton’s first Senate run.
David Muir
The Democratic Party is made up of trial lawyers, labor unions, government employees, big city political machines, the coercive utopians, the radical environmentalists, feminists, and others who want to restructure society with tax dollars and government fiat.
Grover Norquist
Now it is clear, that if the government can exclude, on account either of their opinions or feelings, any persons thus drawn by lot, the trial is no longer a trial by ‘the country,’ but only by a portion of the country.
Lysander Spooner
I always tell young film-makers, ‘Find the song that only you can sing.’ It doesn’t just come to you. It’s trial and error and disappointment before you find, slowly but surely, the confidence to express your film-making identity.
Paul Greengrass
We didn’t have music videos. You weren’t an overnight sensation. You had to work at it and learn your craft: how to take care of your voice, how to pace your concerts, all that trial and error.
Aretha Franklin
Any good trial lawyer knows that if you’ve got one credible expert or scientific study, then you can let the jury decide.
Joe Jamail
Do but stand still in the hour of trial, and you will see the help of God, if you trust in Him. But there is so often a forsaking the ways of the Lord in the hour of trial, and thus the food of faith, the means whereby our faith may be increased, is lost.
George Muller
I believe indeterminate sentencing can be extremely useful, but I also believe that any such system should always take into consideration the special knowledge as to the facts in a case which only the trial judge possesses.
Robert Kennedy
CBS exhausted the Texas courts. They went from the trial court to the intermediate court to the highest court.
Floyd Abrams
Calling this ‘The Trial Of Christine Keeler’ is clever because it’s a re-examination of Christine’s life and the trials and tribulations that she went through including the court trial. We as a society are so quick to judge, and no one has been judged quite as much as she has.
Sophie Cookson
Everywhere you look, there’s a hunger to put the ethos by which Wall Street thrives on trial.
Tina Brown
My childhood was completely dominated by Bill Clinton and the OJ trial. I don’t think we had a family dinner where one didn’t come up.
John Mulaney
Practicing in the trial work trenches of the law, I saw, too, that when we judges don our robes, it doesn’t make us any smarter, but it does serve as a reminder of what’s expected of us: Impartiality and independence, collegiality and courage.
Neil Gorsuch
Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress.
Ezra Taft Benson
The upfront spend to build trial, authentic reviews, web traffic, and passion for your product is far less expensive than paying tens of thousands of dollars for a one-time activation with an ‘of the moment’ star.
Carolyn Aronson
Trial lawyers can sue people in the state of Missouri, and because of how broken the system is, if they win just one dollar for their client, they still get paid huge legal fees. For too long in this state, trial lawyers have picked our people’s pockets.
Eric Greitens
Our Constitution requires that the accused be presumed innocent before trial, thus granting all citizens the right to a bail hearing, where the accused has the opportunity to be represented by counsel, present evidence, and cross-examine witnesses.
Kevin Mitnick
By not trying the small cases, the lawyers don’t get the courtroom experience. So when the huge, bet-the-company cases come along, there are only a handful of trial lawyers who can handle it. That’s why these big corporations still call us old-timers every day.
Joe Jamail
The second trial was a fair trial. I do not call it a second trial. I call it a fair trial, as opposed to the first trial, which was an unfair trial, a Roman holiday.
Sam Sheppard
In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience.
Estelle Parsons

Kathryn Minshew
It is the birthright of every under trial citizen of our country to apply for bail, and its the prerogative of the honourable judge to either grant or reject it.
Raza Murad
Any litigator will tell you that adding to your legal team on the eve of trial most likely will not produce better lawyering but, rather, chaos.
George T. Conway III

My story as an artist has been about trial and error. I

My story as an artist has been about trial and error. It’s been about artist development, character building, struggle, happiness and failure, family, and music.
Anderson Paak

Sibel Edmonds
I’m an old trial lawyer.
Patrick Leahy

Samuel Smiles
Some of George W. Bush’s friends say that Bush believes God called him to be president during these times of trial. But God told me that He/She/It had actually chosen Al Gore by making sure that Gore won the popular vote and, God thought, the Electoral College. ‘That worked for everyone else,’ God said.
Al Franken
At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest of my life.
Jeffrey Archer
I think ‘Trial & Retribution’ as a brand can go on forever. Its joy is that it has, to an extent, a formula, which gives a comfort routine for viewers. But we allow our directors total autarchy in putting their personalities on their stories.
Victoria Smurfit
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
Abraham Lincoln
The news changes every day. So it’s not like being involved in any litigation that goes on for four years, and the trial lasts three months.

Louis Stokes
I don’t want to be Kato, the trial guy. It’s like everything I do is under a microscope.
Kato Kaelin
I don’t think Amber taped Scott or testified for money, but the opportunity certainly presented itself. It makes me a bit uncomfortable, but at least she never sold the story before trial to the tabloids.
Catherine Crier
Writing is part intuition and part trial and error, but mostly it’s very hard work.
Cheryl Strayed
When I was a medical student, a pulmonary professor of mine cajoled me into joining a clinical trial that she was running. The general aim of the tests was to determine whether prolonged periods of short and shallow breathing would cause a person’s lungs to go into spasm. It turns out, as I can attest, that they do.
Scott Gottlieb
A defendant on trial for a specific crime is entitled to his day in court, not in a stadium or a city or nationwide arena.
Tom C. Clark
We are not living up to Thomas Jefferson’s idea of what a trial by jury means.
Glenne Headly
In my experience, most federal prosecutors, at every level, are seeking to make a name for themselves, and the best way to do that is by prosecuting some high-level person. While companies that are indicted almost always settle, individual defendants whose careers are at stake will often go to trial.
Jed S. Rakoff
In the world of medicine, a trial refers to clinical research that follows a predefined plan or protocol. A clinical trial must comply with strict health, safety and ethical regulations determined by the Food and Drug Administration.

The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.
Kenneth R. Miller

Keith Henson
Trials by the adversarial contest must in time go the way of the ancient trial by battle and blood.
Warren E. Burger
Dyslexia lends itself to original thinking, not rote formulas, because you can’t do the formulas – you think up your own method based on intuition and instincts. Creativity is trial and error, trying to figure out a way to do something emotionally and intuitively.
Philip Schultz
You have to find out what’s right for you, so it’s trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.
Teri Garr

I think the Casey Anthony trial caught a lot of news organizations off guard.
Don Lemon
I am co-counsel and as co-counsel I have the right to represent myself, speak for myself and conduct myself and my trial by myself in my best interests in order of due process.
Lynette Fromme
President Obama wants to put free enterprise on trial.
Mitt Romney
When Margaret Thatcher was leader, she and Michael Heseltine were hardly soulmates, but she would not have allowed personal rivalry to take the heat off the Labour Party, whose own deep internal divisions are buried in other news now, nor would she have countenanced any attempt to have a show trial.
Jacob Rees-Mogg
A trial deals with only a limited amount of information, considering only the evidence which is available and also admissible and which relates directly to the charges on the indictment.
Nick Davies
One is never more on trial than in the moment of excess

One is never more on trial than in the moment of excessive good fortune.
Lew Wallace
Although the evidence at this trial shows that Charles Manson was the leader of the conspiracy to commit these murders, there is no evidence that he actually personally killed any of the seven victims in this case.
Vincent Bugliosi
Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It’s just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.
Martin Gore
The Martha Stewart trial makes clear how far women have risen in the business world. America can be proud of our equal-opportunity prosecution and conviction.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.
Charles Spurgeon
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
Les Brown
The ‘progressive’ tax-and-spend agenda has been put on trial. The policies not only lead to much slower growth but also benefit the rich and politically well-connected at the expense of everyone else.
Stephen Moore
I went to Catholic schools my entire life and never had anything close to a cis heterosexual sexual education let alone a queer one. Everything I learned was trial and error or the Internet or ‘Talk Sex with Sue Johanson.’
Jaboukie Young-White
What often happens in a court of law is that, if victims do get their day in court, they are on trial as much as the perpetrators.
Anthea Butler
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
When the machine had been fastened with a wire to the track, so that it could not start until released by the operator, and the motor had been run to make sure that it was in condition, we tossed a coin to decide who should have the first trial. Wilbur won.
Orville Wright
If you ask most smart or successful people where they learned their craft, they will not talk to you about their time in school. It’s always a mentor, a particularly transformative job, or a period of experimentation or trial and error.
Ryan Holiday
Whatever I won in cycling, I won with my own skills. I never won anything I couldn’t win. For example, I never won a time trial at 60 kph, whereas others have and maybe still do.
Danilo Di Luca
As a trial lawyer, intelligence is important only in the sense that it allows you to play the game, if you will. Without it, you don’t even have a ticket into the competitive arena. But beyond that, it doesn’t get you very far at all.
Vincent Bugliosi
America Online, of course, is a master of the hard sell, from stuffing mailboxes with free trial offers to forcing subscribers to click through ads before they can get their e-mail.
Alex Berenson
McConnell is praised throughout the Republican Party for his focus on confirming originalist judges to federal courts. It’s easily his greatest legacy, and one I wrote about at length in ‘Justice On Trial,’ my book with Carrie Severino.
Mollie Hemingway
When I was 18, I had a trial at Benfica, when Sven-Goran Eriksson was the manager. Then, at 21, I was working for a company loading vegetables onto trucks.
Henrik Larsson
Prayer is a privilege and the soul’s sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and ‘checklist’ prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept ‘not my will, but Thine, be done.’
David A. Bednar
Dell fills its computers with crapware, collecting fees from McAfee and other vendors to pre-install ‘trial’ versions.
Barton Gellman
Cagey trial lawyers have figured out there’s a pretty good likelihood their case – no matter what its merit – will literally get its day in court because of favorable judges.
Dennis Hastert
Even on the witness stand at trial, there were people up there and I had no clue who they were. I had never seen them a day in my life and they were pointing the finger at me saying that I was their boss.
Isaac Wright Jr.
I had nothing to lose at my Fulham trial and I just gave it my all.
Chris Smalling
What we acknowledged as a nation during the one-and-a-half year trial of George Zimmerman is that the white majority’s public imagination of black people was based on their fear of us, not the reality of who we are.
Patrisse Cullors
A criminal trial is never about seeking justice for the victim. If it were, there could be only one verdict: guilty.
Alan Dershowitz
I think that all of us, as Americans, are due due process and have a right to a fair trial, and have a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I think that is the American way and it’s the foundation upon which this country was built.
Wesley Snipes
For believers, both privilege and privation are a trial, and both demand responses: one demands service, and the other demands patience. The greatest privilege is to live well in flourishing lands; the greatest privation is to live in the midst of war, especially civil war.
Hamza Yusuf
Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
William Butler Yeats
There is this peculiar blind spot in the culture of academic medicine around whether withholding trial results is research misconduct. People who work in any industry can reinforce each others’ ideas about what is okay.
Ben Goldacre
When people say, ‘Why don’t you face the music?’ I say, ‘You have to understand the music is not an open court and a fair trial.’
Edward Snowden
In rural North Carolina, you can get lots of great advice about how to clean and quarter a deer carcass, but we didn’t really have anyone to ask for video advice, so we just kept learning through trial and error.
Rhett McLaughlin
I had no money nor friends to prepare for the trial till last night.
William Kidd
I set realistic goals consistent with my talents. I nev

I set realistic goals consistent with my talents. I never, for instance, wanted to sit on an appellate court. I’m not an academic. Truth be told, I hate to do research. I have a practical mind, and I was well suited for the trial court bench, not the appellate.
Judy Sheindlin
Men… are bettered and improved by trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations.
Frederick William Robertson
I went to Borussia Dortmund on trial with a bag and some clothes, not knowing what my next move was going to be.
Paul Lambert
A trial is not a search for truth. It is a contest and, often, one that produces no winners.
Andrew Vachss
As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without a trial or a hearing.
Fred Korematsu
He exists and we have four people who identified him and I know who he is, where he is, what his phone number is, everything about him that one needs. All I need is a criminal trial so I can have him subpoenaed.
William Pepper
It took me a while to figure out the U.S. sense of humor, a lot of trial and error. I would write down jokes to casually tell my American friend over Skype to see which ones he’d laugh at.
Rich Brian
The O. J. Simpson trial was the launching-off point for a lot of our pop culture and news culture habits and touchstones.
Rich Eisen
I was a terrible student. For me, to take a book home was a trial.
Vladimir Horowitz
To the contrary, I believe the U.S. military has already done all that has been asked of them. Saddam Hussein is on trial. The threat from alleged weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq has been neutralized.
Peter DeFazio
Were I ever alone in the dock, I would not want to be arraigned before our flawed tribunals, knowing my freedom could be forfeit as a result of political pressures. I would prefer a fair trial, under the shadow of the noose.
Michael Gove
I had never attended a trial until my daughter’s murder trial. What I witnessed in that courtroom enraged and redirected me.
Dominick Dunne
Fidel Castro’s most scandalous show trial was not mounted against a political figure but against a writer: Heberto Padilla. In 1971, after 38 days of detention, Mr. Padilla was forced to ‘confess’ at the Cuban writers’ union to the charges of ‘subversive activities.’
Alvaro Enrigue
In times of trial, for inspiration, people want to look to real people rather than to fiction.
Simon Beaufoy
We should not televise trials. There’s only one purpose for a criminal trial. It’s to determine whether or not the defendant committed the crime. Anything that interferes or has the potential of interfering with that should automatically be prohibited.
Vincent Bugliosi
I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‘Why did you do that?’ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.
Muhammad Ali
In Staten Island, when you have video showing the alleged chokehold used on Eric Garner, why not go to trial and have the officer(s) explain the tape, and then this jury can determine guilt or innocence? The tape should guarantee that there should be a trial.
Al Sharpton
Big nerves are for when you are 15-year-old and you go for a make-or-break trial at Real Madrid. That’s when you have the biggest life change possible at stake.
Lucas Vazquez
A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial.
Bill McCollum
Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing.
Megyn Kelly
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Thomas Jefferson
Personal loss is a trial that we all face. Like every negative challenge we rise to it or we don’t. You grow stronger as you work your way through whatever life has thrown at you or you buckle and go under.
Carol Drinkwater
The post-crisis perception, at least in the media, appears to be one of Americans being held down by Wall Street, by big companies in the private sector, and by the wealthy. Capitalism is on trial. I see it a little differently. If a lender offers me free money, I do not have to take it.
Michael Burry
I suppose that one of the reasons I wrote ‘In Contempt’ was because of the money. After the trial I came to realize that there were things that I needed to do if I was to protect myself and my family, so there were some selfish reasons for it.
Christopher Darden
With increased awareness should come greater caution about how confessions are used at trial – and a greater willingness to overturn convictions when it becomes clear that a confession was untrue.
Adam Cohen
My legislation would cut off all funding for trials of anyone from Guantanamo in any court in the United States of America. This bill would help stop the misguided plan to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists on trial in Downtown Manhattan.
Peter T. King
It is tiring to be Turkish. The country is badly polarised, bitterly politicized. Every writer, journalist, poet knows that because of an article, a novel, an interview, a poem or a tweet you can be sued, put on trial, even arrested. Self-censorship is widespread.
Elif Safak
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
Barkley was the first of many American skyjackers whose primary interest was money; by 1972, the majority of the nation’s hijackings would involve demands for ransom. Barkley himself was declared incompetent to stand trial in November 1971, at which point he was committed to a psychiatric hospital in Georgia.
Brendan I. Koerner
I was ready to give up football, but I lifted my head, and I went to Belo Horizonte with just the money for an outward ticket for the last trial I had, with America MG. If I didn’t make it, I had no money to get home to Espiritu Santo, 600 kilometres away. I gave my all that morning, and I passed.
Richarlison
Sentencing a political opponent to death after a show trial is no different to taking him out on the street and shooting him. In fact, it is worse because using the court system as a tool of state repression makes a mockery of the rule of law.
Amal Clooney
Did anyone in the White House or the N.S.A or the C.I.A

Did anyone in the White House or the N.S.A or the C.I.A. consider flying to Hong Kong and treating Mr. Snowden like a human being, offering him a chance to testify before Congress and a fair trial?
Alex Berenson
We are four individuals on trial. But The Pirate Bay has its own life. It is not dependent on us as persons.
Peter Sunde
Sometimes, we find what we want by also finding out what you don’t want. All of that is trial and error. Once you’re in that pit, the trial and error is important. It’s up to us; we’ve got to keep moving forward.
Cat Zingano
I went to public school on Long Island, and it seemed every year we were being taught that you had a right to a fair trial and a right to confront your accuser.
Erik Larson
Potatoes are popped, with no oil, using the same technology used in the rice cake manufacturing business. It took a lot of trial and error and lots of practice, though, to get the right flavor.
Keith Belling
It is important to realize that the process of ‘fostering’ a passion takes trial and error. It takes experience; you cannot do it all in your head. And it takes a long time.
Angela Duckworth
The best training is to play by ear: trial by fire.
John Legend
‘Victory Lap,’ even the title. It’s the accumulation of trial and error; that’s what I represent; trial and error.
Nipsey Hussle
All persons harboring or secreting the conspirators or aiding their concealment or escape, will be treated as accomplices in the murder of the President and shall be subject to trial before a military commission, and the punishment of death.
Edwin M. Stanton
When I listen to a basic thought, I try to visualise the cinema in it. Sometimes it is dark, sometimes boyish, sometimes amateurish. It is a trial and error method. But the bottom line is that I want to entertain the audience.
Fahadh Faasil
One of the risks of a public trial is a public verdict.
Susan Estrich
I was first imprisoned in Pretoria, and then, thereafter, I was taken to Robben Island. I stayed there for a couple of weeks. I was taken back to Pretoria when I was charged in the Rivonia trial, when I was then sent to Robben Island for life.
Nelson Mandela
It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
Jean Racine
What kind of signal is Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving by closeting himself with tainted politicians and financial fraud-accused of YSR Congress undergoing trial?
N. Chandrababu Naidu
When a government forcibly holds enough people indefinitely without trial, it evokes the kinds of raids, detention, and abuses of power associated with authoritarian states – or darker periods in American history.
Ari Melber
Hopefully, America will really get a sense of how justice can be served in this country. And hopefully, they’ll forget the Simpson trial.
Andrew Cohen
I’m thrilled to have a completely new audience that I can get from Court TV, without it being my own trial. That was the only other way I would have gotten it.
John Waters
Your job as a trial attorney is to try to convey to the jury the essence of the people you represent.
Kenneth Frazier
If we were brought to trial for the crimes we have committed against ourselves, few would escape the gallows.
Paul Eldridge
The trial organized with U.N. participation of some kind will be for crimes committed by Khmer Rouge leaders from 1975 to 1979. That’s it.
Hun Sen
I tend to be a fairly spirited person, but I’ve never hated anyone more than I hated Christian Longo after his trial, when I realized his guilt and that I had been partially duped.
Michael Finkel
I experimented with every kind of class possible – yoga, spin, Pilates, rowing – but it was all haphazard, cobbled together by trial and error.
Jenna Wortham
In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress ‘suspects.’
Noam Chomsky
North Carolinians know what a fair trial looks like. It includes witnesses. It includes documents.
Cal Cunningham
I went to Cardiff on trial for six weeks and felt I did really well, but then they turned around and said they weren’t going to sign me. It was a bitter pill to swallow because Hereford, where I was playing at the time, were scrapping their youth team, so I didn’t have any other options.
Jarrod Bowen
I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from ’61 to ’82. I didn’t have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I’ve got another shop and then another shop.
Gerry Harvey
My involvement in the Simpson criminal trial was a personal matter and did not involve Movie Tunes, its distributors or exhibitors.
Robert Kardashian
Trial by jury. Live wherever you can make a living. How could a government based on such principles fail?
Stephen Ambrose
I get this thing where people are like, ‘Man, you got to tell me what to do’ – like I have a cheat code to being successful. It’s hard work; it’s trial and error. I failed, but I never let failure get to my head or to my heart.
Karen Civil
We’ve got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let’s create a new legal system, so they’ll have their day in court.
Lindsey Graham
I was 11 or 12 when I had my trial with Real Madrid.
Marcos Alonso
When Castro was put on trial in 1953 by Batista's gover

When Castro was put on trial in 1953 by Batista’s government and asked who was intellectually responsible for his first attempt at insurrection, he dropped the name of the poet Jose Marti.
Brin-Jonathan Butler
I have found the right way to deal with my diet, largely through trial and error, but also by having good people around me all the time, and they have given me the right advice for my body.
Tony McCoy
Most lawyers aren’t trial lawyers. Most lawyers, even trial lawyers, don’t get their problems solved in a courtroom. We like to go to court. It seems heroic to go to court. We think we’re the new, great advocates, better than anything we’ve seen on TV, and we come home exhilarated by having gone to court.
Janet Reno
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
Bruce Barton
I had to go through so much trial and error to get all the whack-ness out of my system as a kid. I think everybody has to do that. You have to go through a period of failing in order to get better at it – whatever you’re doing.
Poo Bear
Many low-income people in the U.S.A. charged with a crime opt to plead guilty to a lesser offence because they cannot afford to go to trial.
Guy Standing
I think the San Sebastian victory and and my European time trial title, and the second place in the worlds, really changed my life and my career a lot.
Remco Evenepoel
People are mistaken if they think the Foreign Office can get you out of jail. We can’t, but we will work hard to try and ensure your safety, and that you get a fair trial.
David Lidington
No one can just file a charge and go directly to a jury trial. That just cannot happen.
Robert P. McCulloch
Socrates was tried in a religious court. He was condemned for disregarding Athens’ gods. If you look at the way he speaks at his trial, according to Plato, there seems to be a moment when he realizes this isn’t just a game.
Bettany Hughes
I have a friend that has five kids and she went through a trial separation with her husband, and she didn’t have time to be upset. Every now and then, she’d call me on the cell phone and just cry.
Faith Ford
I’d say my artistic bent definitely came from my father, who was a trial lawyer. And if you’re smart, you know that a trial lawyer isn’t that different from an actor. He was a poet as well.
Omari Hardwick
The trial of Ernst Zundel has gone down in Canadian history.
Ernst Zundel
When I came to the industry, I didn’t know how to meet people, how to tell them that I’m good enough and how to get my first break. It was trial and error for us.
Divya Dutta
The trial by jury is a trial by ‘the country,’ in contradistinction to a trial by the government. The jurors are drawn by lot from the mass of the people, for the very purpose of having all classes of minds and feelings, that prevail among the people at large, represented in the jury.
Lysander Spooner
It seems that I am destined always to be on trial.
Roberto Baggio
I am waiting for the decision, which is not depending of me, to know if the trial will be in Iraq, in the states, or in international court. Of course, the decision is not mine.
Jacques Verges
We plan to pick up another five seats in the Senate and hold the House through redistricting through 2012. And rather than negotiate with the teachers’ unions and the trial lawyers and the various leftist interest groups, we intend to break them.
Grover Norquist
You cannot be President of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.
George H. W. Bush
It was through the Hammerheads that I got a route into the professional game, via a trial at Sunderland from Mick McCarthy and then an invitation to come back to Carlisle in 2004.
Glenn Murray
I learn the most from trial and error. I learn about what I’d like to be able to do from people like Barbara Mason. Saying I want to sing like Barbara Mason and doing it, it’s two very different scenarios.
Mayer Hawthorne
I never learned from a real trainer so it was trial and error. Mostly error.
Bob Baffert
The end of the trial and the ‘not guilty’ verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.
LaToya Jackson
As a writer, you live in permanent self-doubt; you’re on permanent trial.
Antonio Munoz Molina
And, you know, like I said, I’m not looking forward to a trial.
Patty Hearst
We were having a trial game against Leeds, and Jack Charlton was the boss of Middlesbrough at the time.
Craig Johnston
Just as Josef K, the protagonist of Kafka’s ‘The Trial,’ awoke one day to discover that he had become part of some unfathomable legal carnival, we, too are frequently waking to discover that the rules of the digital game have once again profoundly changed.
Evgeny Morozov
Things like ‘I’m A Celebrity,’ when they’re going to a trial, they might reset the camera for a bit or give a briefing that’s not on camera. But ‘Big Brother,’ you see everything.
Rylan Clark-Neal
A close associate of his gave an interview in which the book was described as quotes ‘fiction from being to end’. I suffered trial by tabloid for a couple of weeks, lots of insults in the press, in the columns – this man should be put in the tower and so on.
Anthony Holden
Reading code is like reading all things written: You have to scribble, make a mess, remind yourself that the work comes to you through trial and error and revision.
Ellen Ullman
CNN is destroying their franchise. They’ve become either the trial network or the story network.
Art Bell
Starting a business is tricky. There's a lot of trial a

Starting a business is tricky. There’s a lot of trial and error, but create a plan, be strategic and write everything down.
Jordyn Woods
Being in New York for 10 days during the World Series and appearing on a bunch of shows, I felt like it was a trial run to have more of a studio presence. The more consistently I started to do it, the more I grew to love it. It allows me to push baseball ideas and content in a bunch of different places.
Jessica Mendoza
I was at an acting academy for seven years prior to the trial.
Kato Kaelin
War criminals in the U.S. and Israel are not punished: no international court has the courage to put them on trial.
Nawal El Saadawi
Of what use are all the codes in the world, if by means of confidential reports, if for trifling reasons, if through anonymous traitors any honest citizen may be exiled or banished without a hearing, without a trial?
Jose Rizal
If I had not passed through trial – through passion, one could say – through these years so painful and so rich, I don’t believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.
Isabelle Adjani
Getting in and out of the car with the halo takes a bit of experience. I struggled initially, but after a few trial runs I was fine.
Lando Norris
Our first concern is the security of the lawyers because without security you can’t possibly have a fair trial, if trial at all, and that’s not been adequately attended to.
Ramsey Clark
