General Councils

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or councils:

“Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
