Famous quotes containing the words match and/or officials:

    ““There’s not a man or woman
    Born under the skies
    Dare match in learning with us two,
    And all day long we have found
    There’s not a thing but love can make
    The world a narrow pound.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbour to be governed, but he himself doesn’t want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
