Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or constable:
“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“I do love thee as each flower
Loves the sun’s life-giving power,
For, dead, thy breath to life might move me.”
—Henry Constable (1562–1613)
