Famous quotes containing the words high, offices and/or held:

    “Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
    What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
    And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
    Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “He has erected a multitude of new offices by a self-assumed power, & sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people & eat out their substance.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Even he was abashed
    and I laughed
    and held him close
    when he went for the knot
    of my underclothes
    and I’d already untied it.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
