Famous quotes containing the word claim:
“O God, oh! of thine only worthy blood,
And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
And drown in it my sins’ black memory.

I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.”

“Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case.

The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”
