Chancery Standard

Famous quotes containing the words chancery and/or standard:

    He shall not die, by G—, cried my uncle Toby.
    MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.
