Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:

    “West of this place, down in the neighbor bottom,
    The rank of osiers by the murmuring stream
    Left on your right hand brings you to the place.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
