Famous quotes containing the words periods and/or office:

    “Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor ... over each other.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
