Declared Vacant April

Famous quotes containing the words declared, vacant and/or april:

    Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong? Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made? or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are not good? Is there any necessity for a man’s being a tool to perform a deed of which his better nature disapproves?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And ladies with their nails prepared for tea
    And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
    And old men vacant of propriety
    Have faintly rung a next-door neighbor’s bell.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
    When well-apparelled April on the heel
    Of limping winter treads.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
