Famous quotes containing the words united and/or councils:
“Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
—Austin Clarke (1896–1974)
