Faithful Execution

Famous quotes containing the words faithful and/or execution:

    Better dressed and stacking birch,

    anywhere, but somewhere else!

    It is clear that in a monarchy, where he who commands the exceution of the laws generally thinks himself above them, there is less need of virtue than in a popular government, where the person entrusted with the execution of the laws is sensible of his being subject to their direction.
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
