Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or bishop:

    In a virtuous government, and more especially in times like these, public offices are, what the should be, burthens to those appointed to them which it would be wrong to decline, though foreseen to bring with them intense labor and great private loss.

    so many things seem filled with the intent
    to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
