Faithful Execution

Famous quotes containing the words faithful and/or execution:

    “Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold
    A sheephook, or have learn’d ought else the least
    That to the faithful herdman’s art belongs!
    What recks it them? What need they? They are sped.
    And when they list their lean and flashy songs
    Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw,
    The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “If I were asked to chose between execution and life in prison I would, of course, chose the latter. It’s better to live somehow than not at all.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
