Combined Authority

Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or authority:

    Living en famille provides the strongest motives for rudeness combined with the maximum opportunity for displaying it.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
