Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, beat and/or mob:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“A wicked fellow is the most pious when he takes to it. He’ll beat you all at piety.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
