Held Office

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or office:

    A city on whom plenty held full hand,
    For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
    Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
    And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.
