Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:
“Even more important than the discovery of Columbus, which we are gathered together to celebrate, is the fact that the general government has just discovered women.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“In sum, all actions and habits are to be esteemed good or evil by their causes and usefulness in reference to the commonwealth, and not by their mediocrity, nor by their being commended. For several men praise several customs, and, contrarily, what one calls vice, another calls virtue, as their present affections lead them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
