Famous quotes containing the words law and/or officers:
“Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
