Guardian Office

Famous quotes containing the words guardian and/or office:

    If the guardian or the mother
    Tell the woes of willful waste,
    Scorn their counsel and their pother,
    You can hang or drown at last.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
