Life Peers

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or peers:

    True Shandeism, think what you will against it, opens the heart and lungs, and like all those affections which partake of its nature, it forces the blood and other vital fluids of the body to run freely thro’ its channels, and makes the wheel of life run long and chearfully round.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    He could not have been tried by a jury of his peers, because his peers did not exist.
