Chief Counsel

Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or counsel:

    These are our grievances which we have thus laid before his majesty with that freedom of language and sentiment which becomes a free people, claiming their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Is all the counsel that we two have shared,
    The sisters’ vows, the hours that we have spent
    When we have chid the hasty-footed time
    For parting us—O, is all forgot?
    All schooldays’ friendship, childhood innocence?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
