Chief Legal Counsel

Famous quotes containing the words chief, legal and/or counsel:

    The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government.

Statesmanship ... consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Courage, then, for the end draws near! A few more years of persistent, faithful work and the women of the United States will be recognized as the legal equals of men.
    Mary A. Livermore (1821–1905)

    If the guardian or the mother
    Tell the woes of willful waste,
    Scorn their counsel and their pother,
    You can hang or drown at last.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
