Charge

Famous quotes containing the word charge:

    Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 25:21.

    The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The most serious charge which can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.
    Joseph Wood Krutch (1893–1970)
