Act Allowed

Famous quotes containing the words act and/or allowed:

“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If I had my way, this war would never have been commenced. If I had been allowed my way this war would have been ended before this.”
