Famous quotes containing the words guardian and/or office:
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!

A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”
