Famous quotes containing the words act and/or allowed:
“By act of Congress, male officers are gentlemen, but by act of God, we are ladies. We don’t have to be little mini-men and try to be masculine and use obscene language to come across. I can take you and flip you on the floor and put your arms behind your back and you’ll never move again, without your ever knowing that I can do it.”
—Sherian Grace Cadoria (b. 1940)
“The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
