JUDGMENT
Reading edition
Two San Francisco negroes were discussing the possibilities of being drafted.
"'Tain't gwine do 'em any good to pick on me," said Lemuel, sulkily. "Ah certainly ain't gwine do any fightin'. Ah ain't lost nothin' oveh in France. Ah ain't got any quarrel with anybody, and Uncle Sam kain't make me fight."
Jim pondered over this statement for a moment.
"You' right," he said at length. "Uncle Sam kain't make you fight. But he can take you where de fightin' is, and after that you kin use you' own judgment."
'Tis with our judgments as our watches; none Go just alike, yet each believes his own. —Pope.
How little do they see what is, who frame Their hasty judgment upon that which seems. —Southey.
Judgment is forced upon us by experience.
—Johnson.
