Double Jeopardy Laws

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or laws:

    To be a woman and a writer
    is double mischief, for
    the world will slight her
    who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
    make odes than beds.
    Dilys Laing (1906–1960)

    His talk was like a spring, which runs
    With rapid change from rocks to roses:
    It slipped from politics to puns,
    It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
    Beginning with the laws which keep
    The planets in their radiant courses,
    And ending with some precept deep
    For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.
    Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
