Infallible

Famous quotes containing the word infallible:

    During the late war [the American Revolution] I had an infallible rule for deciding what [Great Britain] would do on every occasion. It was, to consider what they ought to do, and to take the reverse of that as what they would assuredly do, and I can say with truth that I was never deceived.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    He scratched his ear, the infallible resource
    To which embarrassed people have recourse.
