Famous quotes containing the words arrest and/or warrant:

    “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)

    “I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
