General Councils

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or councils:

“As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“How many councils and decrees
Have perished in the simple prayer
That gave obedience to the knee;”
