Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:
“Good Sense, if you are in fact a divinity, I give myself to your worship; all of my prayers have fallen upon the ears of a deaf Jupiter.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 5016 B.C.)
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I dont know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May Gods curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
