Hugo Black
Our Constitution was not written in the sands to be washed away by each wave of new judges blown in by each successive political wind.
2
Benjamin N. Cardozo
In law, as in every other branch of knowledge, the truths given by induction tend to form the premises for new deductions. The lawyers and the judges of successive generations do not repeat for themselves the process of verification any more than most of us repeat the demonstrations of the truths of astronomy or physics.

P. Chidambaram
Two successive commissioners in London police were fired by the mayor that came into office. That doesn't mean the police in London is not independent and does not exercise powers. Ultimately it is the political executive that has to answer.

9
Giles Foden
In Kenya, crime and terrorism are deeply linked, not least by the failure of successive Kenyan governments to control either.

Nicola Formichetti
Thierry Mugler is about the power of glamour and walking straight into the future. He's been a god for successive generations in the fashion industry. He fused pop and high fashion, told a story in style and combined fantasy with reality.
