Bank Governor

Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or governor:

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“There are times when even the most potent governor must wink at transgression, in order to preserve the laws inviolate for the future.”
