Famous quotes containing the words high and/or sheriffs:

    “Crude men who feel themselves insulted tend to assess the degree of insult as high as possible, and talk about the offense in greatly exaggerated language, only so they can revel to their heart’s content in the aroused feelings of hatred and revenge.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “He is a poor man and has got behind-hand and when that’s the case, there is no staying in the settlements; for those varmints, the sheriffs and constables, are worse than the Indians, because you can kill Indians and you dare not kill the sheriffs.”
    —For the State of West Virginia, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
