Famous quotes containing the word skilful:

“The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society, depend so much upon an upright and skilful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“The skilful Nymph reviews her force with care:
Let Spades be trumps! she said, and trumps they were.”

Than half a hundred men of war.”
