State Chartered Federal

Famous quotes containing the words state, chartered and/or federal:

    Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    When he speaks,
    The air, a chartered libertine, is still.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
