Rail Authority

Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or authority:

    In my conscience I believe the baggage loves me, for she never speaks well of me herself, nor suffers any body else to rail at me.

    America has always been a country of amateurs where the professional, that is to say, the man who claims authority as a member of an élite which knows the law in some field or other, is an object of distrust and resentment.
