Avoid Prosecution

Famous quotes containing the words avoid and/or prosecution:

“We used to speak of Western civilization with great satisfaction. Now we avoid the subject.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“The prosecution of [Warren] Hastings, though he should escape at last, must have good effect. It will alarm the servants of the Company in India, that they may not always plunder with impunity, but that there may be a retrospect; and it will show them that even bribes of diamonds to the Crown may not secure them from prosecution.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
