Famous quotes containing the words deceased and/or person:
“The Papacy is no other than the ghost of the deceased Roman empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to,—for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well,—is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
