Penal Laws

Famous quotes containing the words penal and/or laws:

    Him the Almighty Power
    Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
    With hideous ruine and combustion down
    To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
    In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
    Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
    Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
    To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
    Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The Stage but echoes back the publick Voice.
    The Drama’s Laws the Drama’s Patrons give,
    For we that live to please, must please to live.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
