Famous quotes containing the words mayor and/or high:
“The mayor and Montaigne have always been two, with a very clear separation. For all of being a lawyer or a financier, we must not ignore the knavery there is in such callings. An honest man is not accountable for the vice or stupidity of his trade, and should not therefore refuse to practice it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Gifts of one loved me,—
‘T was high time they came;
When he ceased to love me,
Time they stopped for shame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
