Famous quotes containing the words councils and/or govern:
“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
—Austin Clarke (1896–1974)
“What if there’s nothing up there at the top?
Where are the captains that govern mankind?
What tears down a tree that has nothing within it?
A blast of wind, O a marching wind,
March wind, and any old tune,
March march and how does it run.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
