Famous quotes containing the words employment, appeal and/or tribunal:
“What exercise is to the body, employment is to the mind and morals.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting actions. Accordingly, so long as the human heart is strong and the human reason weak, Royalty will be strong because it appeals to diffused feeling, and Republics weak because they appeal to the understanding.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“There’s a new tribunal now
Higher than God’s—the educated man’s!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
