High Commission

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or commission:

    “I know not how,
    But I do find it cowardly and vile,
    For fear of what might fall, so to prevent
    The time of life—arming myself with patience
    To stay the providence of some high powers
    That govern us below.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
