Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or drew:
“I do not allow myself to be moved by anything except the law. If there has been a mistake in the law, or if I think there has been perjury or injustice, I will weigh the petition most carefully, but I do not permit myself to be moved by more harrowing details, and I try to treat each case as if I was reviewing it or hearing it for the first time from the bench.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“She drew back; he was calm
‘It is this that had the power,’
And he lashed his open palm
With the tender-headed flower.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
