Crown Office

Famous quotes containing the words crown and/or office:

    The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 16:31.

    I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
