Bridge Authority

Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or authority:

“I was at work that morning. Someone came riding like mad
Over the bridge and up the road—Farmer Rouf’s little lad.
Bareback he rode; he had no hat; he hardly stopped to say,
“Morgan’s men are coming, Frau, they’re galloping on this way.”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)

“At a distance, we cannot conceive of the authority of a despot who knows all his subjects on sight.”
