Police Ranks

Famous quotes containing the words police and/or ranks:

    A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
