Federal Witness Protection

Famous quotes containing the words federal, witness and/or protection:

    The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.

    Composed in the Tower before his execution
    These moving verses, and being brought at that time
    Painfully to the stake, submitted, declaring thus:
    “I implore my God to witness that I have made no crime.”
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    We all cry out that the world is corrupt,—and I fear too justly,—but we never reflect, what we have to thank for it, and that it is our open countenance of vice, which gives the lye to our private censures of it, which is its chief protection and encouragement.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
