Famous quotes containing the words supreme, court and/or appointments:
“My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (18731954)
“But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the rivers edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment; no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
