Williams v. Price, 343 F.3d 223 (3d Cir. 2003) was a 2003 case involving voir dire, a legal process in which potential jurors are asked questions to investigate their suitability for jury duty. Ronald A. Williams, serving life imprisonment for first-degree murder, alleged that his Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury was abridged when jurors lied regarding their racial prejudices during voir dire. State courts had refused to consider the testimony of a witness who stated that a juror had uttered derogatory remarks about African Americans during an encounter in the courthouse after the conclusion of the trial. Samuel Alito, writing for the court, declared that "the state courts' refusal to receive some but not all of this evidence violated Williams's clearly established constitutional rights." The court granted a writ of habeas corpus to Williams.

# What Will He Do With It? (Belford)/Book 4/Chapter 7

CHAPTER VII.
A Sham carries off the Reality.
And she did act, and how charmingly! with what glee and what gusto! Rugge was beside himself with pride and rapture. He could hardly perform his own Baronial part for admiration. The audience, a far choicer and more fastidious one than that in the Surrey village, was amazed, enthusiastic.
"I shall live to see my dream come true! I shall have the great York Theatre!" said Rugge, as he took off his wig and laid his head on his pillow. "Restore her for the £100! not for thousands!"
Alas, my sweet Sophy, alas! Has not joy that made thee perform so well, undone thee? Ah! hadst thou but had the wit to act horribly, and be hissed!
"Uprose the sun, and uprose Baron Rugge."
Not that ordinarily he was a very early man; but his excitement broke his slumbers. He had taken up his quarters on the ground floor of a small lodging-house close to his Exhibition; in the same house lodged his senior Matron, and Sophy herself. Mrs. Gormerick being ordered to watch the child, and never lose sight of her, slept in the same room with Sophy, in the upper story of the house. The old woman served Rugge for house keeper, made his tea, grilled his chop, and for company's sake shared his meals. Excitement as often sharpens the appetite as it takes it away. Rugge had supped on hope, and he felt a craving for a more substantial breakfast. Accordingly, when he had dressed, he thrust his head into the passage, and seeing there the maid-of-all-work unbarring the street door, bade her go up stairs and wake the Hag, that is, Mrs. Gormerick. Saying this, he extended a key; for he ever took the precaution, before retiring to rest, to lock the door of the room to which Sophy was consigned, on the outside, and guard the key till the next morning.
The maid nodded, and ascended the stairs. Less time than he expected passed away before Mrs. Gormerick made her appearance, her gray hair streaming under her night-cap, her form endued in a loose wrapper—her very face a tragedy.
"Powers above! What has happened?" exclaimed Rugge, prophetically.
​"She is gone!" sobbed Mrs. Gormerick; and seeing the lifted arm and clenched fist of the manager, prudently fainted away.

# When Peter boasted, soon he fell

Peter sinning and repenting by John Newton
    When Peter boasted, soon he fell,
    Yet was by grace restored;
    His case should be regarded well
    By all who fear the Lord.
    A voice it has, and helping hand,
    Backsliders to recall;
    And cautions those who think they stand,
    Lest suddenly they fall.
    He said, “Whatever others do,
    With Jesus I’ll abide;”
    Yet soon amidst a murd’rous crew
    His suff’ring Lord denied.
    He who had been so bold before,
    Now trembled like a leaf;
    Not only lied, but cursed and swore,
    To gain the more belief.
    While he blasphemed he heard the cock,
    And Jesus looked in love;
    At once, as if by lightning struck,
    His tongue forbore to move.
    Delivered thus from Satan’s snare
    He starts, as from a sleep;
    His Savior’s look he could not bear,
    But hasted forth to weep.
    But sure the faithful cock had crowed
    A hundred times in vain;
    Had not the Lord that look bestowed,
    The meaning to explain.
    As I, like Peter, vows have made,
    Yet acted Peter’s part;
    So conscience, like the cock, upbraids
    My base, ungrateful heart.
    Lord Jesus, hear a sinner’s cry,
    My broken peace renew;
    And grant one pitying look, that I
    May weep with Peter too.

# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Weasel and the Man

THE WEASEL AND THE MAN
A MAN once caught a Weasel, which was always sneaking about the house, and was just going to drown it in a tub of water, when it begged hard for its life, and said to him, “Surely you haven’t the heart to put me to death? Think how useful I have been in clearing your house of the mice and lizards which used to infest it, and show your gratitude by sparing my life.” “You have not been altogether useless, I grant you,” said the Man: “but who killed the fowls? Who stole the meat? No, no! You do much more harm than good, and die you shall.”

THE TWO POTS
TWO Pots, one of earthenware and the other of brass, were carried away down a river in flood. The Brazen Pot urged his companion to keep close by his side, and he would protect him. The other thanked him, but begged him not to come near him on any account: “For that,” he said, “is just what I am most afraid of. One touch from you and I should be broken in pieces.”
Equals make the best friends.
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Two Soldiers and the Robber

THE TWO SOLDIERS AND THE ROBBER
TWO Soldiers travelling together were set upon by a Robber. One of them ran away, but the other stood his ground, and laid about him so lustily with his sword that the Robber was fain to fly and leave him in ​peace. When the coast was clear the timid one ran back, and, flourishing his weapon, cried in a threatening voice, “Where is he? Let me get at him, and I’ll soon let him know whom he’s got to deal with.” But the other replied, “You are a little late, my friend: I only wish you had backed me up just now, even if you had done no more than speak, for I should have been encouraged, believing your words to be true. As it is, calm yourself, and put up your sword: there is no further use for it. You may delude others into thinking you’re as brave as a lion: but I know that, at the first sign of danger, you run away like a hare.”
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Walnut-tree

THE WALNUT-TREE
A WALNUT-TREE, which grew by the roadside, bore every year a plentiful crop of nuts. Every one who passed by pelted its branches with sticks and stones, in order to bring down the fruit, and the tree suffered severely. “It is hard,” it cried, “that the very persons who enjoy my fruit should thus reward me with insults and blows.”

THE WILD BOAR AND THE FOX
A WILD BOAR was engaged in whetting his tusks upon the trunk of a tree in the forest when a Fox came by and, seeing what he was at, said to him, “Why are you doing that, pray? The huntsmen are not out to-day, and there are no other dangers at hand that I can see.” “True, my friend,” replied the Boar, “but the instant my life is in danger I shall need to use my tusks. There’ll be no time to sharpen them then.”
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Two Frogs

THE TWO FROGS
TWO Frogs were neighbours. One lived in a marsh, where there was plenty of water, which frogs love: the other in a lane some distance away, where all the water to be had was that which lay in the ruts after rain. The Marsh Frog warned his friend and pressed him to come and live with him in the marsh, for he would find his quarters there far more comfortable and—what was still more important—more safe. But the other refused, saying that he could not bring himself to move from a place to which he had become accustomed. A few days afterwards a heavy waggon came down the lane, and he was crushed to death under the wheels.
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Vain Jackdaw

THE VAIN JACKDAW
JUPITER announced that he intended to appoint a king over the birds, and named a day on which they were to appear before his throne, when he would ​select the most beautiful of them all to be their ruler. Wishing to look their best on the occasion they repaired to the banks of a stream, where they busied themselves in washing and preening their feathers. The Jackdaw was there along with the rest, and realised that, with his ugly plumage, he would have no chance of being chosen as he was: so he waited till they were all gone, and then picked up the most gaudy of the feathers they had dropped, and fastened them about his own body, with the result that he looked gayer than any of them. When the appointed day came, the birds assembled before Jupiter’s throne; and, after passing them in review, he was about to make the Jackdaw king, when all the rest set upon the king-elect, stripped him of his borrowed plumes, and exposed him for the Jackdaw that he was.
# Æsop's Fables (V. S. Vernon-Jones)/The Viper and the File

THE VIPER AND THE FILE
A VIPER entered a carpenter’s shop, and went from one to another of the tools, begging for something to eat. Among the rest, he addressed himself to the File, and asked for the favour of a meal. The File replied in a tone of pitying contempt, “What a simpleton you must be if you imagine you will get anything from me, who invariably take from every one and never give anything in return.”
The covetous are poor givers.
