Famous quotes containing the words lord, chief and/or justice:

    “Good my lord,
    You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
    Return those duties back as are right fit,
    Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
    Why have my sisters husbands if they say
    They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
    That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
    Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
    Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
    To love my father all.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys,
    Unfriendly to society’s chief joys.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “Not to help justice in her need would be an impiety.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
