Laws Govern

Famous quotes containing the words laws and/or govern:

“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

“And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
