Official Count

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or count:

“In a country where offices are created solely for the benefit of the people no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than another.”

“I wish to say that, in so far as I can, I hope to promote the enactment of further legislation of this character.
There’s nothing else one can say about me—I’m superfluous, in a word. A supernumerary—that’s all. Nature evidently didn’t count on my appearance, and consequently treated me as an unexpected, uninvited guest.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
