Dead Person

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or person:

    A low man
    will trade his shawl
    for an ox
    in the dead of winter,
    looking at the breasts
    of that dusky girl
    as if they’re glowing coals.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    It is clear that in a monarchy, where he who commands the exceution of the laws generally thinks himself above them, there is less need of virtue than in a popular government, where the person entrusted with the execution of the laws is sensible of his being subject to their direction.
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)
