Famous quotes containing the words head and/or constable:
“If thou dost slander her and torture me,
Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
On horror’s head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The right eloquence needs no bell to call the people together, and no constable to keep them.”
