Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or avenue:
“The commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer’s avenue to the public.... And yet there is not a more fatal error to young lawyers than relying too much on speechmaking. If any one, upon his rare powers of speaking, shall claim an exemption from the drudgery of the law, his case is a failure in advance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
