Famous quotes containing the words important and/or offices:
“What’s important is promising something to the people, not actually keeping those promises.... The people have always lived on hope alone.”
—Hermann Broch (1886–1951)
“He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
A perfect patriot and a noble friend,
But most a virtuous son.
All offices were done
By him, so ample, full, and round
In weight in measure, number, sound,
As, though his age imperfect might appear,
His life was of humanity the sphere.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
