A judge must interpret statutes as written. And a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.
Rioting has always been a London tradition. It has been since the early Middle Ages. There’s hardly a spate of years that goes by without violent rioting of one kind or another. They happen so frequently that they are almost part of London’s texture.
One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.
With my dad coming from a theatre tradition, there was a lot of preparation before auditions. Not just in terms of saying the lines correctly but a process of entering into what it was all about.
For 180 years, we voted in English. That is the true American tradition, and this amendment is true to our heritage, not what has existed unnaturally for the last 20 years.
Writing is not a matter of choice. Writers have to write. It is somehow in their temperament, in the blood, in tradition.
It was just an honor for me to be doing the role of Miguel because I identify with him. I grew up watching Disney movies, and ‘Coco’ shows a wonderful tradition, culture, and celebration that not many movies have shown.
There’s no tradition today except initials, ‘CSI,’ ‘NCIS,’ all the rest. Even with reruns today, people don’t know there was a ‘Dick Van Dyke Show,’ or ‘Andy Griffith,’ or ‘Cheers.’
Bolshevism may be Marxian in theory, but it is Hulagoesque in practice. It may be of European descent, but it is Oriental in tradition. Oriental in mood. Oriental in temperament.
Far from being aberrant and un-British, criticising a war in which our troops are actively engaged is a long-established parliamentary and political tradition.
Ours is a country with diversified culture and centuries-old tradition, which have to be preserved at any cost.
I love spending time with my family and friends during the holidays, and my favorite holiday tradition would be the pozole that my mom makes almost every Christmas. It’s the best!
We use a Native American tradition of the talking stick. You sit and pass it around and whoever has the stick has to talk. Some people just hold it. Others really share.
It always depresses me when people moan about how commercial Christmas is. I love everything about it. The tradition of having this great big feast, slap bang in the middle of winter, is an essential thing to look forward to at the end of the year.
A Trump presidency will turn the economy around and restore the great American tradition of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of the generation that came before.
You can embrace nostalgia and history and tradition at the same time – it has to progress or it can’t survive.
I’m not tribal Labour. I’m a Liberal at heart. Different tradition, different language.
I’m always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman, I’m called a bigot.
I guess the big thing to say about ‘Pig Farm’ is that none of us knows if it works, and we’re going in blind. It’s in the tradition of ‘Urinetown,’ kind of – but that’s a pretty small tradition. It’s possible that it can fail.
In France, in Europe, the young artists of any generation always act as grandsons of some great man – Poussin, for example, or Victor Hugo. They can’t help it. Even if they don’t believe in that, it gets in their system. And so when they come to produce something of their own, the tradition is nearly indestructible.
The Doors formed on the beaches of Los Angeles, in what you might imagine is the tradition of local rock bands since the Beach Boys.
The tradition is a fence around the law; tithes are a fence around riches; vows are a fence around abstinence; a fence around wisdom is silence.
And so, today, if the state can no longer appeal to the old moral principles that belong to the Christian tradition, it will be forced to create a new official faith and new moral principles which will be binding on its citizens.
Our task as fiction writers isn’t just to report something that didn’t really happen. We have to give what we write a sense of reality. The tool of our tradition is language.
The tradition of canning is still very close to my heart; that’s why I’m so excited to team up with the Ball Home Canning experts at Newell Brands to share how truly rewarding the process can be.
There’s an academic tradition called the ‘Last Lecture.’ Hypothetically, if you knew you were going to die and you had one last lecture, what would you say to your students? Well, for me, there’s an elephant in the room. And the elephant in the room, for me, it wasn’t hypothetical.
Many mathematicians derive part of their self-esteem by feeling themselves the proud heirs of a long tradition of rational thinking; I am afraid they idealize their cultural ancestors.
I consider myself an ordinary Muslim who is constantly working to put himself in the framework established by the Koran and the tradition of the Prophet Mohammed. I study the works of experts of jurisprudence, Koranic commentary, hadith commentary, and Sufism.
I’m not from the States, so Thanksgiving, for me, was never a huge tradition.
I’m content to stand on tradition. I’m even more content to wipe my feet on it.
When I was in high school, I looked for the black presence in a British historical tradition – before too much slavery and empire – that would not cost me my self-respect.
I grew up in Sierra Leone, in a small village where as a boy my imagination was sparked by the oral tradition of storytelling. At a very young age I learned the importance of telling stories – I saw that stories are the most potent way of seeing anything we encounter in our lives, and how we can deal with living.
The invention of Bob Dylan with his guitar belongs in its way to the same kind of tradition of something meant to be heard, as the songs of Homer.
My son is getting close to the age that I remember watching Scrooge, and as he loves to be scared, I can’t wait to start my favorite holiday tradition all over again with him.
There is a Jewish tradition of family, too, but then not all Italian or Jewish families are close.
Connecticut has a proud tradition of manufacturing going back to the days of Eli Whitney.
I came to Notre Dame to renew the winning tradition.
My grandparents were very well-educated people, but in the Jewish tradition. They knew everything about the Bible. And then they had to come to Brussels, to run away from Poland, because there was too much anti-Semitism. They lost everything they had.
I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t cook, but I can do a Swiss dish called frittatensuppe. You make a thin omelet from eggs, flour and parsley, then roll and cut it in the shape of tagliatelle and add broth. It’s a tradition we adopted.
I see myself writing in the tradition of urban ethnography and in the tradition of the sociology of poverty.
I think that Michael Jackson, just as an entertainer, as a figure who embodies the contradictions of black identity and the possibilities of R&B music in the ’70s and ’80s, will continue to be one of the most recognized and formidable human beings that we’ve ever produced in our tradition.
The attacking philosophy is in the walls of Man United. That’s tradition; that’s history. That’s how we play and want to play.
Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.
Tradition is a very powerful force.
I think the editorial page of the Washington Post is the best in the country. I think the editorials – considering it’s a liberal town, liberal constituency and from the liberal tradition – I think it’s the best editorial page around. It’s quite balanced.
Now, the instrumentation in the jazz band and the jazz dance band has gone through many evolutions. For instance, in the ‘twenties the tradition was two or three saxophones.
When we started in the early ’60s, football had a little bit of a tradition. But, they didn’t have a mythology. And NFL Films, through our music and our scripts and our photography, created a mythology for the sport.
While I’m Jewish, the Hasidic world is still foreign to me. But I do understand some of the ideas of tradition and family and faith of our shared culture.
My mum was very conscious about fashion, and my dad was born into the tailoring tradition, so fashion has always been my life, although now, really, I wear the same thing – just in different weights – light and heavy cashmere in winter and cotton in summer. And jeans.
Compared to industry in Europe or Japan, where industry was based on a craft tradition, we are sadly behind.
I come from a family with a long tradition in shoemaking, and I still live in a region famous for its shoemakers. It is getting harder and harder to find skilled workers. There are no professional training institutes, so we have to train our own employees. And an apprenticeship takes three years.
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn’t instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
